doing a traceroute if the pings shoot up as it leaves ntl network thats a peering problem or if loss starts occuring there, but even if that doesnt happen it doesnt mean their peeringis fine.

what I have noticed that since I left ntl, my usa speeds have shot up even on a slower connection and my telia speeds have gone up since my old ntl connection had peering problems with telia and many parts of usa.

another problem with traceroutes is you only doing a trace out from the network when it could be taking a different path back in and so the inbound path might be congested but you cant diagnose it unless you can do a reverse trace.
