If so, it would appear to be a geolocation failure on Speedtest's part - which is plausible given that, at least where I live, OpenDNS's servers are closer than Google's. If other sites then use that same geolocation algorithm, that could have a big impact on your real-world experience, of course. @Clive – Interesting result, but I wonder if it’s reproducible.
