Just another way to track your data and metrics. If they control the servers for speed test, they control the info on weak coverage areas and so on and can sell it to the best buyer.

Most people in slower speeds areas don't exactly have a choice in provider. If you only have one ISP in your area, the speed you get is just what they offer.
