About "expiring" we are only ever showing the last 72 hours on that page. Which I think is a good window size. As for tests, I think we are not trying to create a sensor network, but crowdsource the information - this means what humans perceive as crappy services received, not what machines see as a fault...

For things like speed issues and DNS problems, can you develop a java (?) app that can do some analysis and report that? Things like intl. speed vs. domestic speed at a certain time would be more useful than "1 international speed problem".
The hip cool kids do that stuff in flash now ;) It would be good to expire submissions after x amount of time, this way you can see any trending issues, and anything that stagnates wont smear the current status accuracy of the ISP. Cheers, Drew Broadley drew(a)broadley.org.nz
