Just a quick note on using Treacert's and Pings for seeing how well the network is performing:

I work with Cisco kit and have a few 25xx's at home and they dynamically rate the traffic so under times of heavy load or if the router is doing something then pings go up, this doesn't necessarily mean the networks going slow, just the router 'decides' to reply a bit later than normal, this won't happen in real data situations. It's called Prioritisation and IMCP comes last in most cases.
