To be fair, I've seen ISPs give special treatment for packets coming from speedtest.net. I'm looking at you Comcast.

Yes I've noticed the same thing. I ended up rolling my own test just to verify. I wish I was surprised comcast does this, but they totally do.

Doesn't speedtest use lots of mirrors that have different IPs and hostnames?
