need accurate bandwidth speed test

my day revolves around speed, the faster my upload speed the quicker I get my normal day to day work done and have more time for developing new marketing avenues and finding new opportunities through research.

I have tried many speed tests and get vastly varying results.

Location - Chicago this week (same problem with Sarasota, FL)

bandwidthplace.com - 9.55 Mbps
speedtest.net - 11.69 Mbps
reviews.cnet.com/internet-speed-test - 1.86 Mbps
dslreports.com/speedtest?flash=1 - 5.85 Mbps
business.comcast.com/internet/speed-comparison.aspx - 17.36 Mbps

I realize that each has a different city, hub, region, that it tests from, BUT, there should not be such a huge variation.

MY QUESTION: what is the most accurate speed test site (URL)?

thanks.
