All these services have certain limits. Many (including me) get results that show our connection speeds to be way greater than the real one. The way I would suggest to test your download speed, is to download some file (of about 5-10 MB size) from any of the servers like that of Microsoft's that provide us the maximum speed we can get (this should be applicable atleast to India). It's quite simple. Just note the download speed after the downloading has reached about 50%. That will be your real download speed. Never rely on your initial and final speeds. To test your upload speed, I would suggest seeding a torrent that is on good demand at the time. Actually, there are lots of ways of finding the speeds, and finally, the choice remains with the user. :) Actually, most of the internet services that test the speed of our internet connection are still not perfect.
