Hi
The whole Internet is Not on the server that is 20 miles away, that is only
the first Server in a chain of many depending on where you are going.
You can try to install this free program,

The following Screenshot is taken by using the List feature of 3DTrace as a
list.

The table shows the result of multi ping from my computer through a Buffalo
Router to Internet site 96.6.68.195*
The important columns in the table (for this discussion) are the two in the
middle. I.e. Min. ms and Max ms.
The numbers there show a typical outcome. As the trace progress on the
Internet the variation changes dramatically.
Run it when you have a slow down and you might find where the problem is
coming from.
