| Hi Speedtetshow,
I personally recommend teksavvy.speedtest.net as I find it to be the most accurate. I am currently at home on my 14/1 MBPS service in Chatham (Cogeco infrastructure). Here are the results that came up.

Thank you,

| Not to sure about that one, maybe with a DSL connection it would give more accurate results. There is a big difference compared to the first one I did through speedtest.teksavvy.net

|
| I know, the one I recommended was accurate on the down speeds and the site you recommended was accurate on the up speed. Maybe we have to test through both to get accuracy of each

A speed test website can't just turn off speedboost, it's a feature of the network. I recommend going to Microsoft and finding a large file to download, a demo installer perhaps. Start the download and wait for the speed to stop fluctuating too much (will probably take 20 seconds so make sure it's a large file). That should give you a pretty good approximation, but you can try the same thing with Google, Apple, etc for a better test.
Remember that your browser measures MB/s while your internet connection is sold in Mb/s. 18Mb/s = 2.25MB/s. If your download reads anything over 2MB/s I'd consider that full speed.
