Speakeasy must be good - you're the second person in 5 minutes to recommend them. What I'm looking for is software that we can install locally on our backbone so we can offer our customers an accurate and up-to-date performance measure of their own DSL circuit - which is anywhere from 256/256kb to 1024/6.144Mbs at the moment. We're going fiber-to-the-house over the next 5 years so I expect those numbers will continue to rise to the point that problems outside of our network will definitely be more of a bottleneck than problems inside our network - so I'm looking for a solution that will help us illustrate that point to our customers. -- Jeff Shultz
