(PM) comparative V.90 success rates

Having had V.90 available to our customers for some time
now, we were wondering as an ISP how we were doing
comparatively speaking. We are in N. California, an
early adopter market if ever there was one, and our
world looks like this:
1/ V.90 modems are about 40% of our users
2/ The bulk of V.90 users are seeing between 42K and 48K.

We run pm3s with ComOS 3.8.2 using PRIs from local CLECs.
The results seem quite reasonable to us and our customers, but we
have nothing to measure it against so we, like other ISPs I suspect,
don't really know if we are doing well or if we can do better.

In the hope that others are interested in sharing too, here
is a graph of connect rates to one pm3 over a few days:

Should we be doing better? We don't know, but hey, if anyone
is interested in sharing some kind of standardised data do
speak up.
