Top ADSL ISP speeds

Are these tests averaged over local, national and international speed test servers? So, CPT->CPT, CPT->JHB, CPT-INT?

Also, what was the ratio of local, national and international tests and was any weighting applied in your calculations? TBH the data is not really worthwhile without that information, and also, latency would have been a worthwhile metric to include.
 
I wouldn't say "TOP" ADSL Speeds, I mean look here:
These should be closer to 10 not 6..

9 MWEB ADSL ADSL 10Mbps 5.98Mbps 0.65Mbps
10 FNB Connect ADSL ADSL 10Mbps 5.55Mbps 0.72Mbps
 
Problem with this is....
My line syncs at 8Mbps now due to line issues, but I still click the 10Mb button each time I run.
So of course it's going to affect the stats negatively.

Not to mention, an ISP can easily prioritise the speedtest giving false inflated stats.

Can we be sure these results are reliable??
I recently did a speedtest using the My BB tester and my 10Mbps line indicated a download speed of over 101Mbps!! I wish.

How Opencrap (Openweb) , being IS based, bypasses speedtests from their shaping & throttling policies. I've seen a 4Meg uncapped account tested on a 10meg line sync and speedtest results were 8+ Mbps. But we all know an uncapped account will run at account speed and not line speed, which just proves how some ISPs are now completely bypassing/ prioritising speedtest traffic.

Shame shame shame
