From Linx London...
6 hops to New York with Cable and Wireless.
Looks like at least 3 if not 4 different networks from New York to the colo facility for Name drive.
I've done several traces from different London points. There's several different tranatlantic carriers but in each case there's a fair mix of differen t transit providers on the US side of the connection.
I'm not suggesting its something that name drive are responsible for or can do anything about. Most UK traffic will head straight for NY and from their it's a lottery as to which networks the traffic gets carried over to arrive in CA.
