I believe Josh said the T1-supplying ISP is not the problem but Zoomtown
with their service, coupled with their reluctantness to cooperate.

I'd say don't rush into conclusions. Great many routers have been
configured to not respond to ICMP (echo) requests, thus giving a timeout
when pinging and/or tracerouting. It doesn't mean your packets don't go to
the destination host it just means there is an asocial box on the way that
delivers packets but doesn't want to talk to you.

What I wrote above very much seems to apply to these two timeout cases
since all three requests time out (instead of just one or two which is
more common if the reason is network problems) but the ping times of the
preveious and next hops are all three rather small.
