The speeds look fine, but the comment about upstream queue sounds dire! This testing site is in Germany, I think, so there are going to be substantially greater delays than on Atlantic crossing paths, I suppose.
Would this upstream queue figure have a bad effect when using, say, Skype to European destinations?

Tried some google research on the topic, and it sounds as if one's ISP or even one's modem/router is a big factor. Interestingly, my friend in Auckland on Telecom broadband gets an upstream queue figure of half my result.

.

Skype itself is a bad effect so I wouldn't worry.
