Yeah, that is kinda what I am running in to.  There has to be a way around it.  
I posted this problem to ookla too.  Hopefully they will respond.

Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Speed Tests

We did a speed test on a full GIG DIA fiber line. It took THREE computers 
simultaneously, two with I5s and one with an I7 processor. All 3 had gigabit 
internet cards. We did indeed get a totwl throughput of 997mbit down and 
1003mbit up. But that was the combined total of all 3 computers running the 
speed test at the same time. We think the reality is that any one computer, no 
matter how powerful, can actually send or receive 1000mbit speed.  Al

  Hard to find an app or appliance that will reliably show a customer the speed 
they are getting when it is above 100 Mbps.  We have increasingly more 250, 500 
and 1G customers and when they complain that speed test shows a lower number I 
need something to prove them wrong.  An average laptop does not cut it.

  We have installed our own speedtest server with the ookla recommended 
hardware etc.  But it takes a pretty good computer that actually show a gig.  
Ditto iperf.  Be nice if there was some kind of handheld device that could do 
this.   There are all kinds of hand held computers designed to roll your own 
piece of test or control gear.  Just not sure what is important.

  CPU speed
  Memory size
  PHY circuit
  Memory type

  I guess I should ask this question of ookla...
