as for your problem of slow down, i find that a lot of sites will
throttle back, possible because they have their system set up to
do so.
i found that many speed test sites use a poor way of testing speed
and do not really test.
searched for better tester and so far have had good results using;

have a look at;

for explanation of testing process and you will see why it is
better.
