We display our data publicly on the map. http://www.broadbandspeedchecker.co.uk/broadband_speed_in_my...

Granted we do not have many results in the US (maybe ballpark 200k+ results in last 6 months), still you should be able to find some results in your area.

200k is a pretty good sample size is it not? Even with multiple providers.

Most election/political polls use far less data and very big decisions get made because of them.

Sample size is only a tiny part of the relevance of a sample. You can take a thousand gallons of water to test water quality, but if all of it is from the same faucet the sample isn't representative.
I don't see how that applies here though. How much variation is there among broadband users that matters?
