While they raise god points, the data itself is probably less accurate than the dataset owned by Ookla/speedtest.
The addresses and map really are pretty irrelevant. You can get all that data from open street maps. The real nice to have is service location and speed, which can be retrieved from Ookla and probably google or the data brokers.
Some data providers can map IPs down to addresses, and they probably have a good idea of how fast the actual connection is as well.
Why are we paying some lame company too much money to do this? That's really the question that should be asked.
