I'm well aware of what I linked to kp_uparrow. You said "20megabit costs like 200 at least" when the simple fact is no, it doesn't. Stop refusing to accept reality. All residential connections are shared as I've already said. I'm not sure what you meant by "its shared, like all dedicated server hosting" because that's not true either if you rent a leased line.

The chances of min and max being the same are 1 (certain) if he only took one test (as the graph clearly shows, with one point plotted). The piece of software he's using conducts a speed test and averages the throughput during the test (like all speed tests) and then uses that value to draw the graph.

At this point I'm dumbfounded. A speed test was requested (which was in my opinion wrong to begin with, since he confirmed he was not confusing units of data) and when presented with one, you don't believe the results of that either. Unbelievable.

I feel like I'm the troublemaker, when all I'm trying to do is defend common sense.
