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.

What you said is that you didn't get how anyone could think the site is of use for checking internet speed, when that is exactly what it does. It's called speedtest.net not localsyncloop.net
When you subscribe to a broadband connection, the promise is speed to the internet, not speed to the people selling you the bandwidth.
As for your suggestion, the end result wouldn't be any different than what we already tell you. There are a lot of good cases for a more advanced test on the site that go far beyond what you are suggesting, but the market isn't demanding it. Not that it won't ever happen, but based on the data we collect, there isn't a great case to go further at the moment.
