I tested my own connection for example and know it to be running at 8 meg with a true connection of 6.8 Your software clocked me as having a 512 connection!!!? Come on guys, hasn’t anyone reported your software as not working or malfunctioning? Your site is getting hits to the dozen from people curious as to your ranking with Alexa, don’t let yourselves down by offering anything less than the best!

I found it ironic that the blogs on broadband were actually quite qualified yet not supported by the software you use? Am I being pedantic here? Please don’t take this as a criticism, I have nothing to gain here, but you could in reality send a whole lot of people running off to their ISP’s complaining of crap bandwidth when its actually your software that isn’t up to the mark at present.

Take the comment as it is meant, as made in good faith to a site that I am sure means the same too,

Jeremy Reimer doesn’t even have a single degree that is about the field of computer sciences or even a certification in comp. sci. fields (like MCSE).

He is utterly lacking professional/in-the-trenches experience in computer science as well.

Yet I see you cited Jeremy Reimer here as somekind of expert in the field of comp. sci.?

Research who it is you are citing for your own sake.

Making a ’sidewalk-surgeon/quack’ out to be an expert in a particular field is just bad business.

I.E.-> Jeremy Reimer is just another wannabe poseur with no skills period in computer science, who merely scours wikipedia and other sources and spits back already known information.

This is intelligence? This is being an expert??

I know not: I could do the same myself and so could you other readers.

In other words, nothing fundamental or original exists in the lot of his ‘articles’ for arstechnica. This makes complete sense - he is not qualified to do otherwise.

(His ‘articles’ are mere high-school level termpapers @ best)

They are written by a charlatan named Jeremy Reimer posing as a computer expert.

(If this is hard to believe, ask Jeremy Reimer yourself if he has a degree or certification in the field of comp. sci., but more importantly if he has years of actual professional work experience in computer networking, programming, etc. in this field)

You will see he is nothing more than a wannabe trying to pull the wool over your eyes and come off as some sort of authority in this field when he is anything but that).

Jeremy Reimer’s just some dunce attempting to create the perception of being a noted authority in the field of computers, with no noted accomplishments in this field, other than writing articles for the playpen arstechnica because he is a forums member there.

You don’t see the likes of IBM, Microsoft, or any known/respected companies in the field of computers citing Jeremy Reimer do you? This is because they know better.

Reimer is completely lacking in education, professional experience, & skills is why and this is why he is only capable of being ‘published’ @ arstechnica. This ought to make you question their expertise & judgement as to who is an expert author as well!

That alone should make you think twice before citing him as somekind of expert.

I’m still waiting for the $500 Bill Gates promised me if I sent his email to ten of my friends…
