Yes, and if the results are positive you'll shout foul I'll wager.
Look, even the testing sites know there are limitations to these tests, they openly admit it.
Many on here, myself included have regularly advised that these small packet test sites give anecdotal results at best, but don't take my word for it.

Virgin Media has informed us that the operator intends to launch an interesting new monthly broadband speed test programme, which will measure the accuracy of major speedtest sites with its forthcoming 50Mbps service.
The reasoning behind this is certainly sound because many consumers may not realise that Virgin's service is capable of going faster than the testers own server. ISPreview's own tester points out that accuracy above 8Mbps will diminish because the web server simply wouldn't be able to keep up.
