Speedtest uses different log in locations?

Just curious about running Speedtest.net with my Verizon EVDO USB, sometimes it has me logging into different locations to run the test, it could be Atlanta, Greensboro or like today Tampa.

I'm running the MBR 1000 router so I'm not logging out and signing back in all the time, any idea why it happens?

My speed is usually around the same with every test, usually 1.3mb download.

It all depends where they switch you into the internet. Only major switches hand you off to the internet. There is only a handfull of them.

Different IP addresses with giver you different servers to test from.
