    OK, I get it now. The data is coming from this site's user averages. I should have studied it more but it ought to be posted with that disclaimer.

    Can you cite a specific source link? Part of the reason I ask this question is experience with setups where people are still grateful to get 1.5 Mbps, e.g. rural DSL. I don't see the need to rub higher speeds in their faces! A search shows that Ookla may be the source of the 22.6 Mbps claim. Maybe they and this site are referencing average urban speeds, which should be qualified in that context.

    My basic Comcast connection is typically 11-12 Mbps (download) but this site claims it's "48% slower than the U.S. average (speed of) 22.6 Mbps." Various articles conflict with that claim. Akamai, for example, listed the U.S. average speed as 16.3 Mbps in Q3 2016, which puts me at 3/4ths of the average, not 1/2. Peak speeds vs. averages may contribute to some confusion. I don't mind being below other folk's speed, but I'd like to know where that "22.6 Mbps" figure comes from. Thanks. https://testmy.net/compID/900831030804
