Well 80% of the time TBB Speedtest matches what Speedtest.net shows, well the x6 do anyhow.
SpeedTest.net Results
As you can see for me they are very close to the speeds, the only thing that is way off is the latency, you can see the ping to the speedtest shows a latency in the 20's however my pings are 4ms shown below:
ping -4 speedtest7.thinkbroadband.com

My
BQM also shows about 4ms too.
But yeah, there are times that the TBB Speedtest shows completly different readings.
But I only check my speeds when I notice a difference in responsivness when doing every day stuff and TBB Tests shows this where as the other tester showed full speed.
I am not saying TBB Speedtest are correct or not correct, but just because multiple of other speedtests show around the same results apart from TBB's one doesn't mean the others are correct and TBB is wrong, TBB's result "might" be wrong, but you shouldn't assume that it is.
Also the different browsers show different results for all the tests, I am not a fan of Chrome, sadly this browser seems the best for me when doing the tests.
I also have a Whitebox connected to my connection and while it does show fairly close to the speed I am paying for it does show drops down from 310Mbps to 200Mbps in the evening, where as Speedtest.net didn't show this however TBB tests did.
Like I already said I am not siding with anyone, when I have connection issues I do loads of tests by different tester and then compare the results and go with the average results.
