Here are a couple of ideas for you:

 

#1  Check to ensure that you are using the SPEEDTEST from your ISP (Internet Service Provider). I'd suggest searching or looking up your specific ISP speed test,  this can make a significant difference.

 

And as Recommended in the previous response

 

#2  Try using the Built-in SPEEDTEST under the menus  ->  BASIC  -> Dynamic QoS  -> TAKE a SPEEDTEST

 

Hope this helps!
