How many streams are you using for the internet BTest and local BTest? By default they use 20 which is very good at pushing closest to full speed available.
An ookla (speedtest.net) test uses only 4 streams. Many systems only use a single stream so best results obtained doing many things. I would take a look at the CCQ of your radio links and the latency on them. TCP's back off algorithm is affected by "loss" which is also read as delay over a certain amount so if your link has variable CCQ and a packet either gets lost or needs lots of re transmits then that stream will slow down. Normally other streams in a BTest are on their way up to cover this so you see overall full speed but with only a few streams then you get lower speeds. I have a two hop radio link that goes 50Mbps per hop if you just measure across the individual hops but with TCP back off is about 30Mbps going over both. Both hops are point to point but in areas with lots of unregulated radio links some orphans which roam around the band and cause intermittent drops in CCQ as they pump loud noise into the frequencies.
