the sites u have done tests from r non-asian servers and hav a very high latency(200+ for me).
so to get more accurate speed test results, use indian speed test servers where latency is low

Some correction here.
Latency DOES NOT affect bandwidth. Let me quote an example from 2nd Year Comp Sci textbook.
If you fill a train with tapes (or dual layer 9GB DVDs), you can send 16,000 Petabytes of Info from one city to other in a a few hours. If transfer takes 10 hours, you get bandwidth of 3600 gbps.
So, with a latency of 36 Million, you get download speed of 3600 gbps.
Latency does matter for things like VOIP, Games, YouTube/Google/MSN videos. But latency does not affect bandwidth.
