Re: Keynote/Boardwatch Internet Backbone Index A better test!!!

I wrote:

This test completely missed any issues related to inter-ISP connectivity and performance. You could score at the top of the pack with a ISP which was disconnected from the rest of the internet during the test period, in fact, a key indicator that the measurement is nearly worthless as an overall gage.

I had misread part of the description at Keynote.com and was confusing it with another test. It did test inter-ISP connectivity, but only in a very few directions. My general commentary and seconding of everyone else's criticisms stand. -george william herbert gherbert@crl.com
