something less than or equal to 1500, on some adsl circuits to 1450 or
1454 as it wil mean with the encapsulation overhead it is still less

Not overly:

$ traceroute 87.97.100.8
traceroute to 87.97.100.8 (87.97.100.8), 64 hops max, 40 byte packets

It appears 213.163.0.0/16 (vivendi?) filter at their borders icmp - this
is not unusual.
