We see some connections below 40k; we log connections ranging from 32k
to 54k. This morning I picked a range of days and analyzed them. Our
last 3785 flex connections have averaged 44.56k.
As an experiment, we are running PRIs with 3 different provisionings
from two different telcos. Of those 3785 connections, 2872 were to
the PRIs we've decided are the winners. Somehow those connections
managed to average 45.00k exactly.
I was tempted to go back and pick a different range of days because
such an exact result looks contrived. It isn't though, and it is
certainly "mid forties." And it's for real users, with a real mix of
modems and line conditions, in field use, not in some test.
Either Boardwatch blew it or USR got the best test results advertising
money can buy.
