Never underestimate how bad an average consumer can mess up speedtest
results.
The ONLY valid way is to hardwire directly to the modem or router and make
sure there are no other devices connected, and no background traffic. Then
make sure you use the Speedtest.net app on a PC or Mac instead of the web
browser.
Many of the tests we're seeing done are on WiFi which adds 1-10ms latency
to the speedtest result depending on their distance to the router and
interference.
