Hold Your ISP Accountable with ConnTestD (robertputt.co.uk)

The problem I’ve seen with throttling is that the ISPs tend to allow traditional Speedtest sites to be unthrottled, while carefully “shaping” the speeds to other sites like Netflix.

So, you need testing tools that accurately mirror what you would be doing with those other streaming sites.

Oh, and the actual speedtest sites frequently lie to you abou the speeds you’re getting. But that’s a different matter.
