I just received an uptime report from Internet Seer. Now, it goes up to Wednesday, so there are only 3 days showing, which is fine. What is broken, is the fact that I have 0.11, 0.12, 0.11 connection times, and an average connection time of 0.05!

What has happened, is their algorithm is using the whole week for the average, and any missing data is counted as 0. i.e. 0.11 + 0.12 + 0.11 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 / 7 ~ 0.05. I tried to email them to tell them their algorithm is broken, but there appears to be NO email contact on their website. There are only website forms to submit questions…which you have to register with Internet Seer to even ask!
