What do you get in real world downloads? Speed tests are fine and good but they aren't to be relied on as it depends on so many factors like how many people are testing it, how close is the speed test to your location etc etc.

So I would say if your connection feels fine and you get good speed downloading real files is the main thing not what a speedtester says.
