I&#x27;ve never seen this site - the URL may need to be changed because it geolocated me when it first loaded. Shows how abysmal Australian broadband speeds are, though.<p>This seems to use speedtest.net data. I haven&#x27;t found any concrete evidence, but you can bet that ISPs are prioritizing the traffic - either directly via QoS or via hosting their own speedtest.net server.<p>In Australia only a few metro areas are shown. You might see a variance of 10x (slower) in rural areas.
