What speed test?

The popular ones I know of will be making a semi-educated guess by looking at your IP number and comparing against known ranges/allocations.

Okay. These guys are a third-party, independant of both Telecom & TelstraClear.

It's obviously an error, that to be honest, makes zero difference to much of anything, other than speedtest.net's own aggregated reporting.

Report the issue to them, and/or ignore it.
