Another pragmatic solution is to call the editors of comm week, network
world, data communications and suggest that they might get a lot of
mileage writing a story comparing and contrasting the performance of
ISPs. They do this for routers, bridges, FR services so they can
probably find a respectable consulting/measurement group to collect
information. Some of this could be live empirical data and some of this
could be survey.

Yes, they do. It would be better (sometimes) if they did not -
When I read their comparations I sometimes think to drom all my hardware
(BAD in terms of this magasines) and bue new one (Bay Networks as BB routers,
FORE ATM as ATM
, etc...). Through it's strange idea (for example) to compare
hight-end Bay router with CS7200 (middle-range router), or to
compare middle-range Lt1010 with Cascade back-bone ATM switchs.
And I am afraid thy would use the same technik for ISP comparation.
But anyway it's interesting idea...
