I also studied this is school and worked in an ISPs backoffice for years. Seriously, for those of you with connection trouble, do some traceroutes. I wouldn't even look at a routing complaint unless the customer facing agents walked the customer through a traceroute to the endpoint with the trouble. I suspect SE would want evidence as well for a claim that there is an issue with a server or a data center. If a traceroute showed trouble with our routers or with the outside plant wiring, I'd dispatch or forward the trouble report to the appropriate people.
