Setting our own route to our site
I'm ordering a DSL line so that we can test VPN set ups and experience our website the way our users and the public will.
Our telco is just down the street so if we set this stuff up, it's going to bounce off that single router and end up back in our office. I want to set it up so that we get pushed out at least 6 hops and then return back to our office.
The telco says that we have to configure that and that they can't. Is there a way to set up a static route or send ourselves out some hops before getting routed back here? Thanks in advance.

This is kind of skirting the issue, but I'm sure one of your people has DSL at home with Windows XP. Just use your new DSL to connect to that home computer using XP's built in Remote Desktop and get your results from that user. In addition, if you have enough people with XP, you can get your varied results.
Get an internet connection from a different provider and put your website there. You need to seperate your Web Site ISP and your access ISP.
You can use a proxy , testing your vpn with proxy sites all over the world. Calucalating a small amount of time difference for the to and from trip between your test computer to the actual proxy site. This could all be traced with time per hops by pulling cmd, and typing
tracert "ipaddress of the vpn"
tracert -w to display time of each hop
tracert "ipaddress of the vpn"
tracert -w to display time of each hop
