yes I get your drift, however I do not think that what I was saying is understood. It was in relation to the testing of quality with that software, and nothing else. The claim that 1 origination test point could provide quality metrics valid for the entire globe seems questionable to me. It has nothing to do with the service that you were offering (or really anyone for that matter) but more specifically the claim that 1 origination point can determine the quality baselines for everyone and I do not believe that those numbers would have any bearing on people who at the very least are elsewhere in the world. Connectivity, network quality, etc is not uniform, this fact cannot be ignored. Why I believe firmly that unless the tests are quantified that they are valid under a strong set of circumstances, they will be misleading to many, and as a result will be deemed worthless in a global distribution of "who has better quality". -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel pgp key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x8AE5C721
