The ping program allows you to send a test packet to a given location and see how long it takes to get there and back. Try using ping to see how long it takes to get from your location to several known locations. Another option is to use Traceroute program to do so. Traceroute finds the routers along the path from the host to a destination IP address. List ping results to at least 5 different locations, or list the locations of traceroute routers along the path.
