Don't know if that's any different or not. I'll leave that to the professionals!

It's a little different. It means you're having a crappy internet experience!

The 3 hops after your machine are either swamped with traffic or dying a slow, horrible death. Either way, your traffic is now getting lost to them on all 3 tests, rather than just 1 or 2. Basically it means you're having to retransmit a lot of your data for it to get through. Think "can you hear me now?"
