I've been seeing (Well, being reported) strange results even from our
On-net Speedtest server recently. Customers on EPMP connections that
are reporting 1ms ping times, and out of wack Results. Usually way
lower than what the EPMP RF test shows. Like the RF Speedtest will be a
solid 20x5, but the speedtest.net to our local server reports 4-5mb, but
1ms ping time. But this result is only like every 5th test. The rest
are normal. 20x5 with 15ms pings.

you can come up with far more interesting data than this guy has.

I got nowhere explaining Chicago-Atlanta is 1400 miles roundtrip and
just based on speed of light, a 1 ms ping was not possible, so the
test results were suspect.
Plus he probably doesn’t understand that lower ping time is better.
Life may get interesting when ISPs start publishing their FCC
nutrition labels. Some people with nothing better to do will be
running speedtests all day and filing complaints. Cheaper than
playing the penny slots or video poker.

Customer sent these to me complaining about his speed. (don't you
love people who take screenshots with their cellphone camera)
The 0.10/0.10 speed may be low, but 1 ms latency from Chicago to
Atlanta is excellent! Call the high frequency trading guys. Oops,
the next speedtest shows 2656 ms. It's also puzzling this speedtest
site chooses the Atlanta server rather than the Chicago server.
I'm assuming the speedtest just failed and showed bogus numbers
rather than an error message. Try and explain that to a non
technical customer who tries to blame all his problems on slow
Internet. This is the guy putting up Ring doorbells all around his
property, he's up to 3 of them now. I don't think he uses the
Internet for anything other than watch his Ring doorbells and run
speedtests.
