This reminds me of the gaming (which appears to be) happening on DSLR. How do no-name providers like Mountain Cablevision and Source Cable Ltd. maintain the 1-2 spots on The Fastest Downloads with all anonymous speed tests?

Well you know the quality when they must bribe people to rate positive... LOL. Red flag. Don't buy me from now on.

My Belkin UPSes and USB hubs are the best. I was disappointed when my local Fry's stopped carrying the Belkin UPS line.

This review not endorsed by Belkin.

Exactly. The saying that a product should speak for itself is the tried and true testament. Anyone that go would through the trouble of fabricating a review, has a product not worth taking a second look at.

Same here.

Most of the time it's a overheating issue.

You are SO RIGHT!!! I thought it was me. I've had 3 (THREE!) N1 Vision routers overheat and freeze up. They all have the same problem. Of course their RMA process is relatively painless but re-configuration of the router/port forwarding/DMZ is a PITA!!! Unbelieveable.

Belkin sucks None of their products work. So I can see why they would pay

You wouldn't be the Belkin employee who tipped this story, would you?

Maybe all of Belkin's reviews are from loyal customers.

It's a bit odd that, unlike most companies in speedtests the #1 and #2 companies have 99% anonymous tests.

May be possible, but it is a large anomaly. Something that could be looked into by the BBR admins.
