What are the Ireland "Average Stats" I can't find that on www.speedtest.net

Mine are:
Fastest Download:
11552 kb/s
Fastest Upload:
1234 kb/s
Average Download:
5551 kb/s
Average Upload:
909 kb/s
Faster than 94% Global and 95% Ireland.
(Metro fixed wireless connection)

I see one of fastest places is Killkenny & Ballymun in Ireland and eircom, the biggest single ISP doesn't make it on to the list at all.

Forgetting Ripwave, 3G/HSDPA etc, I'd say the major issue is not speed, especially if LLU was more affordable, but getting Broadband in the 1st place.
