This mostly pertains to UK internet users, but I think they are going to try and make a bigger thing of it. It comes down to how broadband speeds are advertised, as a lot of companies use "up to" and then can't achieve anywhere close to their "up to" speeds.
It's also particularly interesting from an advertising standpoint. Virgin wants to get all ISPs to fundamentally change how speeds are advertised. Obviously, they can actually fulfill on what they offer so this would benefit them more than any other ISP.
Of course all I care about is that they linked to my dumb website, but this will start showing up in the tech news world and it could impact what you actually pay for.

The major point here is that is quite a reliable indicator of internet speed. You just said something kind of stupid, baseless, and incorrect. Anything after that was just back pedaling, don't you think? If your back pedal powered thesis here is that it isn't the ultimate authority, well, that is kind of stupid as well because what exactly is the ultimate authority when it comes to the analysis of any kind of metric?
There are accepted standards, and that is about it. Speedtest.net happens to be an accepted standard.
So no one is putting words in your mouth or misinterpreting you, everyone has responded to exactly what you said. You cannot take spazzium's reply and claim that is what you were trying to say. Well, you can't do it and expect anyone to buy that bullshit anyway.
He said exactly what everyone else is saying, that the site is a reliable tool to find out what you can expect from the internet. Your initial post was exactly the opposite claim. What I don't get is how you manage to do this exact same thing over and over and not get committed.
