Even if we know whose network it is at hops 2 and 5, he's not going to be able to do anything. It'll be an ISP issue and they should already know there is a problem. And the way traffic is pathed and routed on the Internet, the chances of this going unnoticed and not being actively worked on is slim to nill. Routing decisions on how your network traffic is sent through the Internet is determined by a bunch of parameters over a protocol called BGP (border gateway protocol). If there is a significant problem over some network path, BGP would route the traffic over a different pathway.
But it tells you who to call when it continues for days on end
