Have you tried our Speedtest.net server in Atlanta? We share a common
upstream, so I would think the route is good.

OK.. So now that we are running BGP between multiple providers, we have
noticed that none of the Internet speedtest are measuring results anywhere
close. One of our circuits are 100MB and the other is 45MB. When running a
speed test, it typically shows less than 2MB up or down. When I do a file
transfer to an outside host, I can tell that I am getting great speed beyond
what the speedtest will report
Could this be due to the fact that traffic may route out one provider and
back in the other?

When peering with multiple providers, is it a requirement that you
pick a primary to send and receive traffic or can you not prepend
AS hops and allow traffic to arrive to you via the 'best' BGP
route.
There is no way to "insure" that traffic will come back to you on
any particular interface/connection. Prepending is the "best
method" to add to the probability that the "other" route will be
used. It should be noted that it is possible that a BGP Peer will
remove your prepended hops, however.
