It's hard to take any article seriously that has this:

quote:
For the best values in broadband service:
11 SBC Yahoo
12 Verizon
There’s a good likelihood that one or both of these DSL services are available where you live.
One or BOTH? I don't think I've ever seen a location where BOTH were available!
This is why I stopped reading Consumer Reports. Any time I've read one of their reviews on a suject I knew something about, it has been so riddled with inaccuracies that I've found the article useless. I gave up on them years ago.
My thoughts exactly. I also quit subscribing to CR a few years back. They were just terribly inaccurate especially in the area of technical items
