2 edits | M$ can help Windows 7 is coming soon and on the next Windows XP/Vista update. Ask M$ politely to include an app that will measure speed, ask the user for their address and upload the info to a database. This won't cover all computers because of Macs and the PC's that don't get updated but it would be a significant number of online computers.
This would only happen ONCE, not an ongoing test |
| i think it should happen once by default, but it shold strongly encourage multiple times. sampling only at one time is far from being statistically sound. plus if you do multiple times, analysts can see if speed (bps and ping) is improving/worsening based on what the ISP is claiming that they have done.
it doesn't really have to be tied to MS, and probably shouldn't be. it may not be a piece of cake to convince people to run this little program that send off info to a database that is most likely going to be controlled (or just used) by the government. |
