These speedtests are pure unscientific bs and I'd love to see them

As far as I know, it's possible for the end-to-end reported values to be
lower than your immediate upstream due to issues further upstream.
But if it reports 20MBbits/sec down and 5MBits/sec up, then the link is
able to go *at least* that fast.
(If anybody's got evidence of it reporting more than the link is technically
capable of, feel free to correct me...)
Yeah, I do... I've had T1 lines reported at 4.7mbps down and 2.8mbps up.
These tests are hogwash.
