Don't know about you but if I were looking for a fast Broadband provider I wouldn't deliberately exclude the provider shown to be fastest on average.

Actually, I was questioning the accuracy of the speed tester, based upon the fact that it under reported my speed by well over half. And I am not basing that on the advertised speed. I am basing that on the speed I actually get.
Web based speedtesters are notoriously inaccurate (look at the variety of results from Speedtest.net for proof) and can be affected by many factors.
