- We set up a control experiment at our rural ISP site one week ago.
-
- There is so much conflicting information available, we are gathering our own
- data to compare the performance of USR's Courier v.everything's versus our rack
- mounted USR Sportsters (28.8 as well as 33.6).
-
- We get 16 Sportsters per 7" of RETMA rack space.
-
- We believe it necessary to have actual justification before spending the extra
- money.
-
- One justification is the ease of upgrades.
