Yeah...these test are algorithm based and rarely accurate! On our 
100Mbps Internet connection (which I know handles 100Mbps) best I could 
get is 10Mbps down and 14Mbps up.
Wish someone would come up with a much better mouse trap. The only test 
I've ever found to be fairly accurate is iperf or a simple FTP test.
