If you measured 85 Mbps from Ookla you can trust that. You can also try this speed test site: http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest

This is a little odd. I came home to start the test procedure you suggested me. But I wanted to run the speed test again, this time with Ookla (a friend of mine told me to use that site for the test).

If my speed is 85Mbps as Ookla indicated, I'll be very happy with it.
