my suggestion would be to ask cisco what isp they recommend for dialup access from your location, and dial in through them. you should be able to lop off 60% of your hops and probably 99% of your problems if you pick right. You're transiting two NAPs (MAE-WEST and the DEC exchange (?)) which both provide service that's essential on one hand (wide access to the greater Internet) and lousy on the other hand (focussed access to a particular site). If you want good internet service to a particular point on the network, you must shop for it specifically and be prepared to continue to shop for it whenever the underlying network topology changes.
