As far as im awair netgear dont stock any
managed switches. Their market is SOHO stuff.
BONG lans run off netgear (hence some bias) switches
85 people + 7 servers, all 10/100 fd ran sweet as
as youd expect, lots of file transfer, gaming needs
low latency and pings are the same as a cross over
cable.
We also have several at PCL which have taken over
from 3com switches (10 meg switches... we dont use
management) and run quite nicely.
D-Links prices are also very similar and i havent
heard of any grief with their switches (their
NIC's are another story). Infact i havent really
found a switch that was bad. Most are better than
a hub
