Hi Jamie - I'd like to add some of these refs to the Merit web pages. Can you tell me what info you found at www.andovernews.com? I wasn't able to find anything relevant at that site. Thanks.

I am looking for websites that deal with bandwidth and performance metrics as they pertain to the Internet? Anything and everything goes. I need to get a snapshot in time of things like "the average speed of the Internet", the average size of e-mail messages, the average size of a web page, peering points and hosting facilities, current bottlenecks be they hardware, software or networks.

Any cool links for this sorta info will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance -jamie
