TBB cannot use the monitoring tool installed on my PC, and thousands of others, as the basis for a national survey of comparative ISP speeds. Does anyone actually disagree with this conclusion? If so, on what basis?
i agree the program in it current format cant be used for national isp statis

however if they changed the program to work liek this..


firs tthey find out your advertised conneciton speed, when th test runs it checks the serve for ulsations ie they maybe know they have 1gbit connection, so it check ok we have 5 100mb users on we have neough bandwdiht to do another etst and runs the test.

however if it checks and find it currently has 9 100mb user a 50 mb user a 20mb user and it wants to runanotehr 100mb test it wait or some of the test to finish so there neough bandwidht to test it sand then it runs but it also makes sure no one else can connect until ther eis enough bandwidht so use first come first sevrer piraioty system
