Speedtest reports slow speeds

[Gittrebor]

In the process of re-installing OpnSense due to speed throttling issues. On my fresh install various web speed tests (Ookla, Google, & nperf to name a few) reported proper speeds of 950Mbps down & 40 Mbps up. Your speedtest plugin reports 260-320 Mbps down & 40 Mbps up. Then after a few tests (5-6) stopped finding servers to test against. Removing plugin and reinstalling made no difference. Thought someone should know.

I would hazard to say are getting temporarily restricted / banned for abusing the speedtest.net service. Has nothing to do with the plugin.
