Not to sure if anyone can give us a definate answer on something like this (
am guessing though i stand to be corrected ) , but a good benchmark which
doesnt really tell you how much bandwidth they actually "waste" so to speak
but you can atleast know where they rank say failure wise.

maybe this will change net testers , "test" prefferences , but i believe these
 stats entail more than what we are seeing on the page, exchange points.
connection types e.t.c.
