if you notice the page title (on the tab or titlebar) ...
1) First load of the page is somehow locked to a certain number (forgotten if it is IP or session ID, or something else). Speedtest is almost as per package speed.
2) Once 1st run of speedtest finish, RERUN again. it will slow down tremendously and does not show the "full speed" from the 1st run.
3) REFRESH the speedtest page, and you'll get another number on the tab/titlebar. Speedtest returns to "normal".
the cycle continues.
p/s: If you are on-hold while talking to the Customer Service, he/she mention that they are "monitoring" our speedtest testing.
I have a feeling that TM's speedtest is RIGGED to give you FALSE connection speed and ROUTED/TAPPED for their monitoring.

On a few occasions with their speedometer, especially on the upload test, it is showing nearly 500kbps upload, but when I check the network monitor widget, there is NOTHING HAPPENING AT ALL on upload.
But the speedometer is moving as if it's actually testing.
Download will also show a fantastic speed, but the network monitor widget shows an unstable speed which is below that the speedometer is showing.
I would like to think that it is a bug, but you can never be sure with these people.... and how many people would like to bet that TM would say the widget is faulty, right? Reminds me of what happened with Maxis and the iPhone data counter...
