No, well intentioned. :) There are some utilities you can download that will do a little hunt-up for you... Sometimes, too, a good old fashioned tracert will let you watch each hop, tell you how long it is taking to get around...that way you can pinpoint maybe which segment is jacked up since there are likely several between you and the true backbone out there... We've had before that a local provider was blaming our internal network for speed issues...so we proved the internal systems were running top speed, and then showed them tracert results that things ran smoothly until 2 hops outside our network where they were involved....hard to argue with proof that the problem is upstream.

And no, we don't own the line between the two servers. A direct fibre link would be sweet, but absolutely not practical.
