Everyone can just pay more for ever-crappier service, and there will be no relevant data to examine, because there will be no &amp;quot;standard&amp;quot; level of service anyone has access to, and therefore no way to compare one level of service to any other level of service at another time or via someone else&amp;#x27;s product...or at least, no way to do anything about it other than impotently gripe.</text></comment>

Regardless of this specific test, we will continue to work on ways to communicate network conditions to our customers.&amp;quot; [last paragraph]</text></comment>
