I agree with Trouillez vincent that updated fullscale values would help.
My issue is with my apartment complex providing me a "high speed
internet" connection that is choked down on an instantaneous basis from
DSL speed to 56K modem speed to intervals of zero speed lasting up to
several seconds. This makes Skype audio and news videos choppy. Just
now, infospeed.verizon.net  reads 245 and 135 Kbits/sec on sequential
tests, downloading a 500KB file. But NetMeter (www.metal-
machine.de/readerror/) for Windows shows an instantaneous readout with
option to use a fixed or variable Y-axis. I find that with a fixed 768Kb
scale I can see how much or little service I'm getting. That enables me
to feel indignant in a more accurate way. Our service is provided
through cable modems in each apartment that looked really good on the
tour, but I didn't discover the real problem until after I'd signed a
yearlong lease and moved in. The office staff shrugs uncomprehendingly,
and I can't get out of the lease or get an outside ISP. With your help,
though, I might consider a class action lawsuit -- but then, maybe I
shouldn't say that; you probably don't want to get involved. Anyway, my
point is that user choice is nice so we can tailor to our specific
needs.
