A proposed list of key features and performance metrics is given in the linked survey below. We believe that all of these features are relevant to MSAPs providing high-density TV and video-over-DSL services in addition to high-speed Internet access.

In order to compare products using these metrics, Heavy Reading will need to give each one a weighting to reflect its relative importance to the average service provider. The poll below gives readers an opportunity to share their opinions on which characteristics are most important – and modify the weightings we use in the Heavy Reading study.
