Nick Farrel shouldn't be scolded for making one simple mistake. However he does this in almost every article and this is why we are critical. He likes to present misleading information to satisfy his own anger and spread hate. Umm, kinda like a tech Journalist version of Micheal Savage.

To Nick:

You've gotten your information muddled. The AT-2812FX does not support 1000M (gigabit) speeds, only Fast Ethernet (100M) as advertised. The AT-2872SX model, however, does support Gigabit speeds over fiber in an ExpressCard format:

Similar products, different capabilities.

(And "Nick Farrell sucks"... before you start hurling invective, might wanna do a little research like I did and figure out where the confusion lies. Try decaf.)

Fast Ethernet is the term given to 100Mbit technologies. Gigabit Ethernet / Gig-E is the term given to 1,000Mbit technologies.

Dude, you just totally suck as any sort of "reporter" or even a quality "blogger". Why not get yourself a job where your real skills may be of use.
