Misreported. If it's not a large enough download you get some prefetch effect.

Also misreported, likely reporting partly cached speeds or average speed across transfer, try it again and have something like Netmeter running. It'll show you throughput more accurately and it won't break, or even reach probably, 20Mbit.
Regardless of how solid or otherwise your connection is the nasty CMTS won't let you break 20Mbit however many downloads you have running, it shapes on IP level not TCP level so number of connections irrelevant, and as people STM'd can attest to its' rate limiting is quite accurate.
Roll on next year and my move, see how many connections it takes to hit the 14.4MB/s my connection should reach.
