the common problem with speedtests is that they're all pretty brief. whether it's speedtest.net or fast.com, it's over in a few seconds so they're not necesarily measuring the sustained speed your ISP is giving you, just the burst speed.
that being said, getting a higher burst speed still makes browsing the web a much more pleasant experience, so it's not like they're just gaming the speed tests.
