30 seconds later I did a speed test on Speedtest.net and I'm getting 47.05 mbps download, 16.24 mbps upload and 15ms ping.

What could be causing the HUGE discrepancy in download speed test results?
Try changing the server that speedtest.net is using. I notice it will default me to a poor one sometimes that just can't accurately test higher bandwidth speeds. I usually switch to the Telus server (definitely no preferential treatment) and have no problems getting 170 down
