As for me, it is interesting two technoques used simultaneously:

1) Journal  asks ISP to make dialup-IP and 64K account for the testing;
and asks where they coud try T1 connection.

2) Journal bue (anonimously) dialup account from the same ISP's.

Then, every day in 1 months (or some 5 different days during this months)
they measure CPS for - WWW to some interesting pages, FTP from some servers,
quality of real-audio connections, etc...

Then (since 1 months) it will be very interestind data.

But I am afrayd we'll see quite another picture - "we prefere XXX because
they sell dialup-kit with MS Exploper, and do not recommend YYY because
in our ONLY ftp test from www.cisco.com CPS was 5% less than in our 10
ftp tests via XXX_, or something simular.
