The issue of local network congestion within your home is arguably more likely to impact such speedtests in the current climate, particularly in busy family homes where it may be incredibly difficult to conduct an even remotely accurate speedtest (you’d have to switch off every other connected device, stop all background downloads and do it via a wired link on a proper computer).

My son is working from home (his flat) at the moment, and as he cannot access his, or the common, network drive (not enough Citrix licences), everything is being done through O365 mail - his girlfriend does TEFL to Chinese children for about 6-7 hours a day, which requires two way video; this was impacting on his speed/productivity, as they were both using Wi-fi (as well as all the other things in the flat (Amazon Fire Stick, Spotify, etc.)), so I gave him a 10 meter Cat6 cable, and lo and behold, the problem disappeared...
