TBB runs one of those.
What speed testers do you have in mind, that we use widely in the UK, that might have CNDs in some distant country or other non-optimal location?

i can hit 51mb/s on Virgins DNS but on cloudflare between 29 - 35mb/s only especially on US based sites.

OP is specifically referring to real world download speeds, not speed tests (which shouldn't be as impacted by a DNS change).
