For all their metrics, etc, I have never been able to break around 6Mbit on their tester across two ISPs, while others give a good result. |

Just checked Broadbandchoices out and you've made an interesting / confusing point
Their speedtest is
Attachment 17165
It also clearly offers the user a chance to choose "Up to 50Mb" through a drop down, yet it seems from what you say that is the absolute max their host can offer?
Seems like this is (again) the point that VM are making? Why would a site purport to be able to test up to 50Meg when it clearly cannot support that rate?
