- I equate it to simple advertising by the company of their product. I also
- note that the "results" they publish are for tests done against modems that
- have now gone through several firmware changes/upgrades, and in some cases
- complete data pump overhauls.
-
- Basically, the results, now 7 months old, are useless in the world of
- today's current crop of modems.
-
- There may also have been negative info in the "report" as well, but I'm
- sure USR would have edited that out before putting the glowing reviews up
- on their web site.

- If you believe everything you read or hear in someone else's ad, the
- politician's are gonna love you this year....
