Hey guys lets make PowerVPS number 1 on the HostingSpeeds Comparision charts. We are currently ranked 63 out of 161, ping ranked 3. Pageload etc have not been tested yet. I encourage everybody to signup and its way of saying PowerVPS is simply the best for VPS hosting.

That's about a stupid site. I'm sorry but there's so many variables that could effect it. (ISP slow, page content, poor programming and design, etc.)
I KNOW PowerVPS is number one and that's why they have my continued business. I will continue to advertise for them via word of mouth.

Page content, you load their pageload.php and then they measure that. That how its consistant NOT your pages. Not sure how its poorly designed its just a simple php make time to load see how long it takes to generate / load a 100kb file. As for ISP they measure by ping from 2 different locations, more will be added later. This brings variables down to min, only thing that affects now is the network between the 2 servers / your server load.

Ping has no relation to speed really.
