I've found that connect speeds means diddly... It's nice to see "connected
33600" etc... but what is the actual throughput and does this stay the
same for a fully loaded box? I would ask the customers to surf, download,
irc, etc. and have them give you their impressions...but don't tell them
which is which, just ask them which number they call... ;) for our users
into the PM3 most seem to have more solid connects AND say transfers
appear quicker...I still have to do a latency check, but I think a few ms
won't mean much to most people...
