I can shed some light on the term hops... it generally refers to the number of routers you go through from the beginning to the end of a connection... if you have 4 routers between you and the destination you are said to have 4 hops. Generally the lower the hops the better , although it is possible to have better speed through a higher number of hops in the case where there is either a router performance issue or a connection issue between routers...
