When I was having brutal internet issues (turned out a power surge messed up my router), the speed tests that went through a Shaw server always returned exactly what my plan said it should, but any actual usage would show how bad it actually was. It turned out the only truly accurate test I would get consistently was the in-results one that popped up on google when you search "internet speed test".
When other speed tests would show 60+ mbps, this would show 1.5 mbps. Once I replaced my router, they were reading nearly the same numbers. Just something to consider when running the tests.
