How do I check the "route" my ISP uses?

How do I check the "route" my ISP is using for my connection?

I'd like to figure out for sure, instead of randomly trying different programs and methods. Does it have to do with the ping rate?

PingPlotter looks interesting...

Sometimes it's best to show new users tools that the OS already has to help them, in this situation, traceroute;

How to use traceroute;

Of course running a ping to an IP helps to show you how fast and any packet loss

---> ping www.google.com :)

In the end, since I moved over to Linux mint, I went for mdr <ip> and namebench.

Still, these links will be helpful if say, I've to get back into Windows. :p
