Same thing happens to me sometimes. Lately though it's been good about using San Jose (which is whole lot closer) |

The test server location that is automatically pointed to depends on the current accuracy of the geolocation information that is associated with ones WAN (public) IP address. |

Try manually choosing a Bay Area server for the speedtest.
Also are you using the comcast DNS servers for your area? (DHCP prefered, but can be hard coded as 75.75.75.75 &75.75.76.76 )
Some others locate/direct inquires to less than optimal anycast locations. |
