You have never worked with three different networks of NAS servers spread across the country and served by every different LEC of every immaginable condition, have you*? It is a mathematical certainty that they can not perfom equally. :)

*The absolute worst copper in the country is buried under New York and New Jersey. Those networks are so old that many rural networks far outperform those metropolis networks.
