IMO this isn't telling you that you have a problem or what it is. (The numbers themselves are respectable; whether they're good or not depends on what you're paying for. If you have a 10mbit plan, the 8350 number is close as good as you'll get. If you have 25mbit, not so much--though it may still be normal.)
The other problem is that the more computers and network links you introduce, the more variables you have. Speakeasy isn't even on your cable co's network, and while their speed test is good for what it is, there are a ton of factors involved in the stuff getting from your computer back to you cable company and then over to Speakeasy that can affect the results of the test.
If you're getting 8350kbps down that should be enough for good performance for most uses. The 525 sounds a little smaller, but again for most home use it shouldn't cause you trouble.
The issue is most likely something on your computer, or some issue elsewhere on the internet, possibly under your cable co's control, possibly not.
