If you're going to ping something, do a traceroute and ping a router a
few hops into your provider's network, or ping something like your
provider's web server.
When you choose to ping something like Google, it tells you about your
provider's network up to the first place they can get rid of your
packets, and every other network up to the Google server.
The reason you want to look at something close is that you can either
control it yourself, or you can complain about it to someone you pay.
When you ping Google, your provider's SLA will carefully explain that
they don't control the whole internet, and aren't responsible for
anything beyond their own network.

But if not one could still use it to track
problems that are at the first few hops by monitoring other servers like
google etc.
