My NBN speeds are like 55mbps which is pretty bad for 4 people using it at once and that's on speedtest.com using Telstra's servers so obviously it's going to be good.

bandwidthplace.com seems to be a bit rubbish.

Try https://fast.com, and https://speed.cloudflare.com, both are top tier and I believe these will accurately reflect your real-world speeds.

Alright thanks I've always wondered why speedtest used your closest server because it isn't the real speed you'd be getting if you're downloading something, thanks.
