Absolutely.

Of course, you know it's really bad when ping is nearly 1000ms, and even
telnet lags every time you type something.  You'd think that there'd be
no reason for that...

But I seem to get it pretty often, even within the country.  Of course,
when I call the problem in, I must be on crack, or have some wiring
issue, or be mentally distressed, or have some problem *other* than the
ISP... at least, according to the ISP... :-)
