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.
Here are all the tests I've run:
Multi-connection mode against Shaw's Speedtest.net servers: 653.44 Mbps down
Single-connection mode against Shaw's Speedtest.net servers: 205 Mbps down
Multi-connection mode against Speedtest.net's Seattle WA servers: 640 Mbps down
Single-connection mode against Speedtest.net's Seattle WA servers: 646 Mbps down
Google Speedtest: 373 Mbps down


I'm running a Ubiquiti UniFi Access Gateway 3-port and my home is hardwired, so I'm pretty confident in my network infrastructure.
