Interesting enough, Take this little tidbit. The methodology in general was performance testing of the backbone's web site. (Which in itself is probably an accurate measurement goal for the level of subscribers to that magazine) However, Nap.Net's web site was sitting behind a Fractional T1 off of our chicago node while the web page was being overhauled during this test period. So, the rating for Nap.Net reflects a Fractional (actually 22 channels) T1 performance. This is interesting in the light that Nap.Net still scored above the average and the median.

The Keynote/Boardwatch Internet Backbone Index http://www.keynote.com/measures/backbones/backbones.html I'm not going to comment on the methodology flaws, but it does show what will fill the information gap. I do like the line "The world's fastest network provides good service to its users only if it does a good job of connecting to the rest of the Internet." Unfortunately I don't think this study really shows that. -- Sean Donelan, Data Research Associates, Inc, St. Louis, MO Affiliation given for identification not representation
