Aaron, How does the https://account.speedtestcustom.com/login differ from hosting a speedtest.net server as an ISP, and letting anyone test through it? Seems the speedtest custom is a paid option, but hosting a speedtest.net server is free if you allow it to the public domain. Sure it uses up ban

Just wondering, but what IP-capable MPLS switches are people using to deploy AE to residential internet connections? Most 48 port AE switches from repetuable vendors are crazy expensive, and I can't see how the ROI would ever work compared to GPON. On Sat, Feb 9, 2019 at 4:25 PM Mark Tinka wrot
