Google's speed test is a bit flawed. The file size for the tests is tiny compared to what speedtest.net transfers during a test. (942/946mbps) Even file sizes on fast.com are ~700MB for my speed test on a gigabit connection. (950/930mbps) The tiny files on Google transfer too fast so the connection doesn't reach it's full potential.
