Well. There is normal and normal. Tracert is often a better gauge than 
ping, since ping only hits 4 times, then gives up, and if the problem 
happens before or after the pings... Using a trace I was getting * - no 
response, from about 1 in 30 of the trace pings, but I couldn't pin down 
the precise point in the network that was causing it. Odds are someone's 
server was overloaded in the backbone, and it effected a lot of people 
piping stuff through there, but it never got "critical" enough for the 
system to route around it.
