ICMP round-trip times don't necessarily prove anything - you need to be examing DNS resolution times. Lots of network hardware (i.e., routers, firewalls if they're not outright blocking) de-prioritise ICMP (and other types of network control/testing traffic) and the likelihood is that Google (and other free DNS providers) are throttling the number of ICMP replies that they send. They're not providing an ICMP reply service, they're providing a DNS service. I'd a situation during the week where I'd to tell one of our engineers to stop tracking 8.8.8.8 as an indicator of network availability for this reason. |
