"Your connection is rather bad" as in "You're losing half your packets between the first and third hop". Problem is the second hop is not responding to the trace, so we can't see what it is - most likely your modem.
Problem is between computer, modem and the first receiving station of your ISP (basically, the modem on their side). Could be:
- your computer
- your modem/router
- the line between your modem/router and the ISP's one. Typically phoneline in DSL, or coax in case of cable internet.
- the modem at your ISP's end.
Because of the second hop blackout we can't narrow it down from the provided info. You'll need to test by elimination:
- Connect a different computer to your internet connection (friend's laptop for instance) and rerun the test. If it's good, your computer is the problem and you should reinstall the thing.
- If it's not your computer, have your ISP run a signal test on the DSL or cable connection you use, to check for noise on the line. They should be able to configure the modem to run at a slightly lower speed, which is more fault tolerant thus giving a more stable connection if the line is bad.
