4 edits | Did Speed Matters take wireless in to account with their #'s I didn't find it on their site, but it might be there somewhere, but did Speed Matters take measurement skewing in to account with people using smartphones(the ones that support flash?) both thru WiFi and thru 2G & 3G wireless networks? If they didn't, that would be a problem with their statistics.
Also more relevant, they used speedtest.net for all measurements outside the US, but DIDN'T use the same more extensive database from speedtest.net for their US comparisons. Why is that? Because speedtest.net has a much bigger sampling and shows higher numbers than from their own site?
Speed matters says US down/up is 5.1/1.1 mbps
Speedtest.net says US down/up is 6.79/1.51 mbps

Oh, btw, I don't think that in this case 1.69 difference is going to make all THAT much of a difference... considering the US is still WAY off the bottom of that list as well (notice it goes 12, 13, 14, ~~, 27/28).
