I don't want to get to technical but you can time out on any hop if the previous 1 to 6 hops are failing although those previous ones gave a correct reply. Could be for example a router of an ISP that times out once ina while causing a host that is 4 hops or even more after that ISP to be unreachable.
From another board:

'ds0.nyc1.webair.net is giving you some problems no doubt.'

Also, I can understand there being problems along the way, but not on the level that I am having packet loss. That is the reason that I want to get as many views from different people as I can.

This has been a problem for some time now, and I always assumed that it was the other guys ISP giving them the problem, but I am now strongly suspecting the host.
