Hmmm, no speedtest server is actually from Ookla, it's someone hosting it on
their network on their own host machine.
I wonder if you went to a different speedtest host if it would be "normal"
speeds?
It's possible, even easy, for a speedtest server provider to set up a simple
queue structure to limit speed test results per IP domain if they wanted.
Whoever's server that is could have a rule set up to limit your network, lol!
We run our own speedtest Ookla server on some older bare metal HP 1U server on
10Gbps interface.
It does over 9Gbps easy from my home computer on 10Gbps connection.
Of course it sits on our own network/public IP so all of our customer default
to it when testing.
I also have customers use the Ookla speedtest App on Windows/Mac/iPhone/Andriod
instead of a browser.
Their app does a much shorter test usually and is more accurate/performant than
all browsers I've tested so far.

Still taking calls this week. I went to a customer yesterday that was
complaining of slow speeds. Plugged my laptop in, speedtest.net ran only at
4mb/s Speed.ui.com ran 20mb. HD Youtube videos ran at full 20mb/s It's
getting really annoying that there isn't a problem, but customers think there
is just because a website says so. If only we could somehow charge
speedtest.net for the time that we're having to spend because of what they're
telling customers.
