ping has unfortunatly become a pretty unreliable method of testing connectivity. Because some DDOS attacks a couple years ago were ping based, many ISP's have disabled ping all together. even if your isp allows it, if it crosses the network of someone who has disabled ping it dies out there. this is espescially true or obvious with traceroute.
but, if you get the same response times pinging your default gateway, it would seem like the problem is beyond your network and resides with your DSL provider or beyond. May be time to call tech support.
