Page 5 on the big PDF is great. Everything they mention in the

Rick,



Actually, if you look at today's SpeedTest.net rankings (with the larger
server network) the US ranks 31st (http://www.speedtest.net/global.php#0).
 And according to the OECD, which uses advertised speeds, the US ranks 24th
(see
http://www.oecd.org/document/54/0,3746,en_2649_33703_38690102_1_1_1_1,00.html,
table 5a).



We welcome the FCCs project to collect data in a more randomized and
standardized way through their performance monitoring project with SamKnows
(http://www.testmyisp.com/faq.html).  We feel that our test and our report
over the past few years have helped point out the problems with buildout in
the US, particularly the rural-urban digital divide.

 Believe me, I understand speed tests, and sure, I do speed tests of 30+Mbps
 all the time. But that’s the point. The speedmaters.org website is
 proposing that the “The U.S. ranks 25th in the world in average Internet
 connection speeds.” Is this statement based upon these test servers?

 Hi Rick.



 I'm not sure what might be causing the lower reported speed in your case.
  We regularly have tests that come through as 100Mbps or more (mostly from
 research institutions).  Your distance from the testing server could be a
 factor.  We use the same technology as speedtest.net, but fewer servers
 due to cost constraints.  You might try their site to see if you get a
 different result.

 I ran my speed test directly from my fiber connection which is set for
 40Mbps and the highest speed I can get I 5Mbps.  It appears your tests are
 highly inaccurate. What’s the deal?

Believe me, I understand speed tests, and sure, I do speed tests of 30+Mbps
all the time. But that’s the point. The speedmaters.org website is proposing
that the “The U.S. ranks 25th in the world in average Internet connection
speeds.” Is this statement based upon these test servers?

Hi Rick.



I'm not sure what might be causing the lower reported speed in your case.
 We regularly have tests that come through as 100Mbps or more (mostly from
research institutions).  Your distance from the testing server could be a
factor.  We use the same technology as speedtest.net, but fewer servers due
to cost constraints.  You might try their site to see if you get a different
result.

Beth,



I ran my speed test directly from my fiber connection which is set for
40Mbps and the highest speed I can get I 5Mbps.  It appears your tests are
highly inaccurate. What’s the deal?

 I bet they contracted with non-union workers to do the study.  Anyone wanna
 take that bet?

 Ernie,



 Who’s in charge of all this? The reports are flawed. I'm sitting on a fiber
 connection with up to 40Mbps with about 3Mbps currently being utilized and
 their best speed test only gives me 5Mbps!
