Or something large from microsoft. There you should get top download speed.
That test looks good, I am envious, especially of of your upload speed.

Just download it in your browser. Its not an exact measurement, but it gives you a hint. Your provider's speed test usually just measures the speeds to the provider himself. This does not say much about the connection to the outside world. If a provider has only small backbones the nominal speed is high, but you get not much out of it.
