It is also worth checking your processor usage during the speed test. (Use task manager.) If your usage goes over 90% , even momentarily, during the download test especially, then you will get stuttering, faltering and surging. This will give you high maximum readings as well as some low readings. These readings are phantom.
Solution? Get a better processor. Probably not worth it just to get accurate speed tests.
