Ben, Good explanation of the situation, and I agree with your warning that we can really demand/expect very little (nothing?) from our residential broadband providers. But that doesn't mean there isn't a good reason to try and measure that service. One of the important factors in judging the acceptability of an ISP is its "speed". It would be helpful in deciding the cost/benefit of cable modem vs. DSL vs. satellite vs. whatever. So the (implied) original question: How DO we measure the "speed" of our connectivity? -- Jack Hodgson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 603-433-7161 <www.jackhodgson.com> ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
