There's always someone somewhere complaining
about packet loss and latency; this *is* the Internet
we're talking about, after all.

it's usually not the source/dest IPs that matter, as
much as the ones in the middle.  do traceroutes,
and look for points of commonality; observe which
ASNs show up in common along the different
paths, see if there's locations in common across
the different traceroutes (do they all go through a
common city that might have a localized issue
like an earthquake, tsunami, flood, etc.).
