Sure. But traceroutes don't always correlate with higher speed. A company that wants a speed claim can priority route packets. And echo speed is different from transfer speed.
AFAIK there is no set network speed benchmark to date. But there are many measurements. Of course if I paid 3 times more I would want a bit more overall performance. Probably most of that extra money is spent on fatter peering arrangements. It is as complex as buying a corporate car. Origination, destination, speed limits, troopers, road conditions and budget all play in.
