said by hobgoblin  :Due to the configeration of certain networks the tool can and does give inaacurate and misleading results. I dont believe any ISP should build a Troubleshooting plan around BBR as fine as the site is. An ISP will do itself a disservice if it configures its network in a way that causes common troubleshooting tools to produce misleading results. Unless it educates the public why the results are misleading and/or takes the time and effort to provide better tools, it will continue to get bad publicity.

It's a shame that this site promotes this tool, but Adelphia techs, both in the Adelphia forum and on the phone, dismiss it as inaccurate and misleading.

| I liked using it to show my transfers were going badly at home....like before I got the WRT54GS w/Sveasoft, the ping times would vary depending on what was going on and it could make for a dramatic graph.
It could also illustrate a gripe with periodic outages.
Though not it seems to only be useful if you provide all 3 graphs to show that the blue spikes aren't at my end, but are at the monitoring sites.
