I am guessing they get some of the information from the Sam Knows
broadband report. Over a year ago you could signup on
http://www.samknows.com/ and they sent you a Netgear router with some
custom firmware. Everynow and then they pull tests from your router. I
get a report each month on the top speeds, averages, latency, etc.
I am not sure how many of these are out there but it was a pretty
popular
program with the masses. I heard a ton of conspiracy theories on the
lists so I doubt many of you have them. I tried to get some of our clients
to do it, but they were too weirded out about the privacy. I think now
the WISPs are not as represented in SamKnows as they should be.
