How do your tests run? Do they not run when cross-traffic from your LAN is running? Is it over WiFi, etc.? The SamKnows tests extract out the entire home LAN.
See page 5 - the SamKnows FCC tests go to just behind point #5, and does not include the home LAN. It also says "Not all elements of broadband performance are under the control of the consumer's ISP, and there are factors that affect a consumer's broadband experience that were not measured in this study."
