What should you look at first?
Start with the window
Read the UTC reporting dates. A weekly report can capture a short-lived change; a monthly report can smooth it out.
Read the spread
The median is the midpoint. P10 and P90 show how widely the measured results vary; a single headline misses that variation.
Check the coverage
Sample totals and destination counts differ between setups. Pooled report rows do not automatically form a matched-route comparison.
THE SERVICES BEHIND THE NUMBERS
Put a name and a setup to each result
A report may include only some of these services. The results table shows which providers were actually measured in its reporting window.

FROM A REPORT TO A DECISION
Choose your next question
Which of two VPNs fits my shortlist?
Compare two measured setups using the same source and eligible shared destinations.
Does the pattern change by location?
Inspect geographic differences instead of relying on one aggregate figure.
What changed over time?
Use the protocol race to examine trends, then return to a dated report for context.
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE REPORTS
Before you cite a benchmark
Are reports the same as a test of my connection?
No. They describe measurements from the test network. For your current connection, use the speed test.
Can a report change during its reporting period?
Yes. An ongoing week or month can gain measurements as the report generator updates it. Always include the displayed measurement window and the date you accessed it.
Why are some providers absent from a week?
A report reflects the available quality-checked measurements. Missing rows do not mean zero speed or a failed service.
How should I quote a result?
Include the report URL, UTC window, provider, protocol, metric and sample count. Do not turn one row into a claim that the provider is fastest everywhere.
