Those results are meaningless because they are not broken down into tier levels. The average speed depends on what percentage of subscribers are on the 2,10 or 20Mbps tiers. If that speed test shows 10Mbps download, then that is excellent for a 10Mbps tier, but pretty miserable for a 20Mbps tier.

A more meaninful test would be to show what pecentage of the advertised speed you are achieving.
