There is a huge gap between way we describe the performance characteristics of a network connection and how most people understand network performance. We propose that given a user's network application usage patterns we can score network connections based on the average user experience for all of those applications -- resulting in a ranked list where the top network connection maximizes the expected user experience. In an effort to rank network connections in a way that is easily accessible to the average user we have learned a few things about network measurement and designing scalable testing platforms. The work being discussed is in an early stage, but there is a lot of interest in this project. The initial progress is confidence inspiring and we have a lot to be optimistic about.

If we can help consumers make informed choices about their ISP,
will it result better connectivity for all of us? |
