Any way to reduce the number of hops between to points. Can the ISP do this on their end.

Most consumer ISPs are not also core internet carriers, so even your local ISPis usually not in control of the number of hops.
Far more important than the number of hops is the latency, usually in ms.

What is your goal in reducing the number of hops? Better performance? Have you tried changing DNS configuration?
