@Bernard - You are correct. By default the the test picks the Zuku server for me. Safaricom, Access Kenya and KDN are also on the list as servers for Nairobi so I would assume that if you are using one of them it would pick your own ISPs server. @James - Zuku support has been frustrating at times but I'm not sure there is anyone else that is all that much better. Have had plenty of issues with both Access Kenya and Safaricom as ISPs at the office and those are on the far more expensive business plans. Pretty much every ISP I've ever used anywhere was pretty lousy at support including Comcast and Verizon in the US. The exceptions I have seen are really small ISPs that can give you personal attention but they usually cost more, don't give you the same flexible payment options, and have slower connections. In Kigali Altech had absolutely amazing service and support but they were super expensive even for Rwanda. Icon Telesec here in Nairobi was pretty good too since we could usually get through to the original sales contact when there was a problem.

The Zuku connection 7.67 Mb/s down and 1.90 Mb/s up has a roundtrip average of 25ms. I suspect the server chosen was the Zuku one.
