- While they may have done some "real world" tests (which are
- notouriously inaccurate when they try to test actualy performance, you'll
- often see modems that perform horribly on your lines winning a "real
- world" test), but they also did a rather limited benchmark test with a
- line noise generator. It's an ok test, although rather limited in what
- they tested (eg. they didn't even bother testing the modems on bad phone
- lines).
