if proxy connection works - who is blocking me: my ISP or the server?
4wd:
I just set up an account with 'Pingdom' and I believe they load my homepage every minute from a random server. Here are the first few results:-timns (October 12, 2010, 12:30 PM)

You seriously need another host, my ping times are lower than the ones from the hosts country, and I'm on the other side of the planet:

That last hop is across their internal network (whois on IP shows it's a single contiguous block owned by E-Commerce Hosting). This thing has borked routing table written all over it.

So, in layman's speak, is that, "the hosting company is dropping the ball, so get a new one"?-Renegade (October 12, 2010, 08:18 AM)

That seems a bit harsh, but depending on how many people are affected if they're unwilling to fix (or admit to) the problem it may be necessary.
The original question was ISP vs. Host because proxy worked. If the ISP was blocking then the trace would have stopped in the first few hops. If there is a very small number of addresses blocked (e.g. nobody else is complaining) then walking them by the hand to the issue (Given their absurd assertion that intermittent ICMP traffic is normal) could be next to impossible.
@4wd - That is odd, my ping times from here are much faster:

In my post, these were page load times for the front page, so not too bad.

I think it's time to get out the incense and candles and I'll start praying to the god of the internet. One day, I know that this connection will work again - I just have to remain faithful and believe the Internet God will show mercy. Join withe me and let's pray together...

I think it would be more appropriate to intone: "OMMM.........", and then hit yourself in the head with a plank of wood.
