TL;DR: run the test from a fast computer.
Some thing is either very wrong with the web page, you need a better browser or something else was running in the background that affected performance. My "slow" AMD FX8320 computer is able to use the Rogers speed test page and the numbers I got are about what I expected to see. One should not need a "fast" computer just to run a speedtest.
I, too, have an AMD FX8320 and measured 970Gbps on speed testing, using speedtest.net which may (or may not) have used my ISP's servers. Have also seen 300 Mbps via speedtest.net (subscribed FTTH speed) that used a server in Portland, Oregon - not my ISP's. Not sure what to make of Hugh's, Kevin's, and my results, but just adding my 2ยข to to the conversation. rb
