How usual or unusual are the results being posted here lately?

If you see a lot of hops in within the same subnet range that could indicate that some re-direction was going on (proxies basically).
Having said that, traceroute is a diagnostic tool. In of itself it just gives you something to work with regarding where the packets are actually going, how many hops. It really needs to be used in conjunction with a detailed network diagram to say for sure what was going on.

I'm not personally going to analyse the traceroutes provided so far as I was recently in a contract with BT that effectively means I can't use proprietary knowledge and it could be argued that I am using priveledged information (even though I didn't work in this area of BT).
