Yes, they do. It would be better (sometimes) if they did not -:)

When I read their comparations I sometimes think to drom all my hardware
(BAD in terms of this magasines) and bue new one (Bay Networks as BB routers,
FORE ATM as ATM
, etc...). Through it's strange idea (for example) to compare
hight-end Bay router with CS7200 (middle-range router), or to
compare middle-range Lt1010 with Cascade back-bone ATM switchs.
And I am afraid thy would use the same technik for ISP comparation.


But anyway it's interesting idea...
