running a tracert command is the same as the 'ping' command; ping tells you the time it takes to send a successful packet of information to a given point, while tracert does the same thing while telling you where it has stopped for directions along the way.
The time taken to each point is not so important - it's the consistency that is usually more useful. I've shown my results below - you can see that there are no spikes or wild numbers in the figures. Seeing something odd in yours might indicate something.
Are you on Windows?
Go to Start -> Run -> cmd
Type in tracert www.google.com and press enter.
Here are my results (with servers/ip addresses removed from each line for obvious reasons):
1 9 ms 11 ms 10 ms
2 12 ms 13 ms 12 ms
3 13 ms 11 ms 11 ms
4 12 ms 11 ms 10 ms
5 12 ms 28 ms 15 ms
6 15 ms 15 ms 11 ms
7 12 ms 12 ms 11 ms
8 28 ms 27 ms 28 ms
9 29 ms 34 ms 37 ms
10 27 ms 23 ms 24 ms
11 30 ms 26 ms 24 ms
12 26 ms 25 ms 26 ms
13 24 ms 26 ms 25 ms
