Yeah, it's just averages of whoever happens to go to speedtest.net and do a speed test in a given month, with a minimum of 300 users for a country to be listed.

For some of the countries, if you click through they give medians for sub-entities (states/provinces or cities). As you'd expect, they're significantly lower than the means on the front page. Not sure why they don't give country-level medians.
A few examples for major cities (median downloads in Mbps): Austin 182, NYC 169, Milan 153, San Francisco 144, Calgary 130, DC 122, Beijing 121, Paris 119, Miami 118, Shanghai 117, Toronto 99, Minneapolis 96, Rome 90, Montreal 65.
