Is this response time normal when I ping a server in the intranet?

When I ping the server name using the cmd function, the response time
is:

Minimum = 92ms, Maximum = 105ms, Avg = 95ms

The server is located roughly 10 miles away. When I ping the server
from another location, in the same building where the server is, the
average response time varies from 0ms to 2 ms.

Should the discrepancy for a 10 mile difference be this large? The
network here is T1 with an avg bandwidth of 2.3Mbps.

Thanks for any insight..

A T1 is 1.54mbps, not 2.3mbps. It is a standard. The "T1" term actually refers
to the speed and not the line technology.

When you ping the server in the same building it is in,...your connection is
100mbps or 1000mbps,...compare that to 1.54mbps,...do the math.

Ah, I didn't know about the tracert Windows command, thanks! So, I
found there was 1 hop that went from 2ms -> 75ms and this must be
where the problem lies. Could this be normal though?

I never told you this.. but maybe it's the case.. I'll have to check
out the actual bandwidth in the building I'm in.. although I doubt
it's anything close to 100Mbps.

It better be. 100mbps is not even considered "fast" anymore, but is the
minimum. You can hardly even buy 10mbps equipment anymore.
