Also, when looking at these traceroutes bear in mind that when your packet traverses a (layer 2) switched network (MPLS/Frame Relay) etc. that you won't see a 'hop' as these are only registered at layer 3(IP).
It's possible to head into an mpls node in London and Pop out in San Francisco with it looking like 1 hop (although it's probably closer to 20)
