it all depends on how you test your speed .If you are connected via a wireless router then it will be less accurate than if connected via ethernet directly to the modem .When i am checking my speed i use this link

simply start a download of about 3-4 files ,i choose larger ones let them settle down and reach maximum add them together and that should give you a more accurate reading than most test sites ,and don't forget to connect directly to the modem
