How about this analogy:
Using speedtest.com as the sole benchmark is like trying to test the
speed and throughput of the city streets in Sacramento by seeing how
long it takes to drive to New York City and back. Oh, and why should
we be responsible for the speeds on the Interstate portions of that
route when we only control the city streets and local secondary roads?
