we used the same port based filter throttling when we set up various platinum gold silver
Plans for DSL customers back 15 years ago to limit certain uses on the internet...
We also set up caching servers to limit their outbound traffic usage requirements...I won't mention which carrier but it was not Verizon...but...the speedtest is a pretty reliable test of your raw through put...if you really want to go detailed then you are going to have to work PORT specific throughput tests but that is way beyond a layman on here to do or to test.
At that point you are going to have to work directly with your provider on port specific thoughput...IF they are willing to work with you. And the only way you can get that kind of assistance is to be a backbone/network engineer for a provider with justification for opening the ticket and having it worked.
But just a trace route...for diagnostics...PUlease...
