Can my ISP be added to the Router Watch List?

The router watch list is formed by sweeping the individual line quality tests done over the last three weeks so we can compile a list of Internet routers that were discovered to be the source of packet loss. The only way to be added is to be a bad router.

If you really want to be added, we recommend beating your main switch with a herring.*

*Please be nice to routing equipment and the herring.

got feedback?

WOW, I love this AWESOME site!! Please consider putting (at some future time) links to the test (or whatever the faq is about) in question so that one may simply click on it to see the test startup page and perhaps perform the test. (Links in blue type or some other color.) This would likely apply to all faq items. Thanks, GlennNDavis@fuse.net
