Your speedtest gave me the same thing.
Also, I used the TCP speedtest on the mikrotik as well and only saw
minimum difference if any.
Does the TCP speedtest in mikrotik resemble speedtest.net? Or no?

So something to consider is - the test sites use tcp which has ack’s
and signaling based on those but the mikrotik btest defaults to udp
which has none of that. btest udp is a measure of pps but not of the
round trip like tcp.
You are not so far away that you can’t use our site at
vaskywire.speedtest.net <http://vaskywire.speedtest.net>

I have a very strange issue that I've not seen before and it's got my
head spinning.
It has to do with sites like speedtest.net <http://speedtest.net> and
speedtest.xfinity.com <http://speedtest.xfinity.com>.
We have a tower site where if I plug my laptop in to the tower on the
switch (connected 1gig Full) or anywhere in the public or private
network extending off that switch, speedtest.net
<http://speedtest.net> will show 8-13mb/s up and down. Sometimes will
burst to 20-30mb/s for a second and then drop.
I have tried a few speedtest sites and gotten the same results. Also
it's regardless of time of day and who else is on.
Now if I run the mikrotik speedtest from that tower location or
behind any CPE to the core bgp routers a few hops away, I get about
50-80 on the download (depending on other factors).
I thought surely the mikrotik speedtest were just lying, but then as
I check every stat and graph all the way to the core, sure enough it
is actually pulling that.
To make matters worse, I found a free mikrotik bandwidth test server
online so that the bandwidth test has to go out through the internet.
Just in case it was my upstream providers causing issues.
Got the same 50-80mb/s no problem using that test.
Can anyone try to explain what I'm running into? I can't find a
pattern. Except that I can prove the capacity is there by using the
bandwidth test on mikrotik. But speedtest.net <http://speedtest.net>
is a big discouragement to me and my customers are asking questions.
We've tried several servers and sites. Same results.
Attached are some resulting screenshots. In one of the mikrotik
screenshots you'll see the tx at around 10mb/s that is what I limited
it to for that test to try to get a higher number on the download side.
The second screenshot is letting them both run wide open. Also
disregard the graphs as I started and stopped the test and changed
settings a number of times that's why it is so dynamic.
