Nothing fishy at all. When you run a speed test on your local division site, you are staying inside the Roadrunner network and as such aren't seeing any (great) distance/peering/slowdown issues you might encounter once you leave your locality.
To further, this would show that you are capable of receiving max speeds.

Hello,

When I run Road Runners speed test, I get results like 16M/1M for my cable connection advertised as 15M/1M with turbo boost.

However, if I run the speed tests from dslreports, I consistently get much slower download speeds more like 7M/1M.

Should I believe Road Runners own test or is something fishy going on here?

Thanks.

Same here.
Definitely there is something 'fishy' or technologically biased somewhere along the line.

I only trust RR speed test servers or

For what it's worth, I think that speed tests have some use, but mainly I care about how fast websites display and how fast downloads of software go. Those things don't seem to have a lot to do with speed test results.
