performance and reliablility are subjective and dependent on your network
provider.
speed is, to a degree, as well. for example if you get a T1 or a frac T1,
you want to find out what the CIR (committed information rate) is. a "full"
T1 is 1.544Mbps, but if the CIR is 512Kbps, then they don't have to
guarantee you a constant 1.544Mbps connection. DSL and cable speeds just
vary period, but are usually kept within certain ranges for business
accounts vs. home accounts. i have cox@home and it can be 50KB/s some days
and on occasion 300-400KB/s (that's up to twice the speed of a full T1;
those are GREAT days).

Subject: OT: Speed comparison information
Hey folks,
I'm wondering if anyone has any references / resources that I could show
someone the statistical differences in speed, performance and reliability
for various Internet access methods from dial-up (28.8k) to T-Lines. I made
a general statement to my boss and now need to find a more reliable source
than my memory.
If anyone has any suggestions of sites or information, please e-mail me
off-list at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
TIA!
Hatton Humphrey
