Re: How about enforcing it like the "fleet average" You mean the test is run by the ISP using tools built into the CPE? If the CPE has the capability, then yes, that's an option. Then you just need to work on the motivation for doing so. And then if you get past that, what's the benefit? |

| Lets not forget that a test from the cpe may not be a true indicator of the speed. It was mentioned above that inside wiring is the responsible of the customer, not the telco and there are many types of inside wiring, not necessarily twisted pair, etc. etc.... |

kudos:2 | Testing from the CPE is the most "accurate" for the goal that this conversation was initiated for and would be a "true" indicator of throughput if the connection was installed by the ISP. The problem that you're probably referring to is that the installers (if they even visit the customers' premises) often don't install the lines to the CPEs and then they have no quality control mechanism. |
