While I agree with the point Avi was trying to make I thought I might 
point out the little tidbit below:
traceroute to www.psi.net (38.8.64.2), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
[snip]
 7  Hssi3/0.San-Jose6.CA.Alter.Net (137.39.100.1)  142.59 ms  72.272 ms  88.32 ms
 8  mae-west.psi.com (198.32.136.23)  145.853 ms  145.555 ms  136.282 ms
 9  core.net99.psi.net (38.1.2.10)  208.164 ms  180.217 ms  140.287 ms
10  www2.psi.net (38.8.64.2)  208.077 ms  154.819 ms  220.8 ms

What are the odds that "mae-west.psi.com" is actually a PSI router at 
MAE-west?
