Very strange/bad methodology

If I'm trying to find out how fast an ISP is, why would I want a speed test that introduces unwanted variables like browser and computer speed, plus various distance/backbone/server issues unrelated to my connection?

I could see this test being useful for specific website owners who want to see how fast their website loads from computers all over the country, but it seems to be a very poor gauge at measuring an individual's bandwidth or the general speed of an ISP.

I don't really trust this information considering they say this about WV:

In the 18th fastest state, fiber optic connections are the most popular way online, averaging nearly 300 Kbps. Surprising, eh?
Outside of universities and a couple of very small subscriber bases, fiber is virtually non existent in WV, as an end user solution.
