Plus the results aren't very reliable as they jump around (see the next two results, one in the same city as my server and the other one farther away).

Uh, how do you know that? Lots of servers have gigabit connections.

If by chance you're not and are extrapolating based on a server you buy from that ISP, realize that data centers don't necessarily have standardized equipment. I work at a web hosting company and we have servers with both 100Mb and Gigabit connections. It's not based on age either; it's just that most servers don't need that kind of bandwidth and the switches and routers required to handle lots of gigabit connections are more expensive.

The best part is that connections beyond 10Mbps are practically worthless (save VPNs/Backbones) as the vast majority of servers online do not allocated that much bandwidth to a single client. It is also difficult to find a torrent that allows you to leech that much bandwidth.
