a raspberry pi 3/3b+ or whatever (not v4) should by no means be used for any sort of speed test, not only is the wifi weak/slow but the wired ethernet interface is also hanging off a usb2.0 bus.

You make a valid point though you could test the speed of the Raspberry Pi in question. As long as you take the caveats you mentioned into account, that's an OK context. Which is the problem with GP's post to begin with.

My pi is connected directly to the router via ethernet, and the bandwidth available to my home connection isn't enough to saturate it "unfortunately" (~95/20) so this isn't massively a problem for me. YMMV.
