   Hiccups in video

   I watch foreign TV channels on my Fiber connection, and sometimes, the video   
   stutters. Now, MY connection is a hefty 250 Mbps, and I'm pretty sure the   
   broadcasting TV channel has enough bandwidth going into it as well, so I was   
   just wondering - is there    
   some way to *tell* which part of the world is responsible for the screwing-up?   
   Like, with traceroute or something? For that matter, how would I check how   
   much bandwidth the TV guys have going into their systems (if it's a   
   *broadcast* channel, is it even    
   referred to as "servers"?) (Of course, I realise that in a packet switched   
   network like the internet, one little chunk of info could take a different   
   route around the world than the next chunk, so....)   
      
      
   Thanks.
