What is it with people and speed tests they are to say the least unreliable at the best of times especially once it leaves the vm network as they have no control over other networks plus a multitude of other variables to be taken into conideration, contrary to popular belief the servers that the tests are going to they do not have an unlimited connection the majaority are using a 100mb card and if 100 people are doing the speeed test at the same time then you will get a false reading. I would reccomend doing a tracert to the server aswell to see where the problem starts to arise and if it is inside the vm network then by all means moan and groan about it.
