Re: Results are bogus said by DaneJasper:But, we are on their list. Thus, I think their testing methods are totally cracked. FYI! I don't see SONIC.NET on their list... and you are one of the greatest ISPs in the world. Your user base is more technical than most - it wouldn't surprise me to see some user-generated noise in their results for SONIC.NET, but they have not concluded that your network interferes in any way.

Thanks for the comments.
Sorry, I might be mixing up these results with results from another entity which was claiming that their analysis implicated AT&T and others. Their published list included us, which pointed toward the whole method being flawed in my opinion.

I know that Vuze deliberated before releasing their data. They knew it would be confusing. Personally, I suspect that unique user behavior added too much noise to the data, making it difficult to draw conclusions from it. But they also were under pressure to release what they had, since the FCC chair essentially asked for the data the week before.
In the end, it was what it was -- and I would never have interpreted the data to mean that AT&T was throttling. I think that idea came from AT&T itself.
