It is true icmp is normally low priority but it should only show maybe the odd jump not persistant high ms, that usually indicates some sort of problem on the hop.

there was 2 problems with my connection yesterday, the one on the first hop I got fixed by my contact in ntl was routing through a bad router, the other is on the edge of the ntl network.

pccwtbn also has a problem which affected the rest of the route.
