I find the TBB speed test useless for gauging latency. It shows my latency as 40ms+ most of the time.
The BQM is very accurate.

The speedtest.net test sends a ping before the test begins so reports an accurate low latency but TBB do things a bit different.
Seb explained it a while back but I can't find the life of me find the post but I'd be confident his latency is nowhere near 60ms.

Oookla is usually quite close to the money on latency. Wonder why the TBB speed tester should be so far out? Admittedly I’ve never managed better than 6ms to TBB, though I can regularly get 0 or 1ms to Ookla boxes from central London on an uncontended pipe)

TBB also measures latency during the speedtest, so if its bloated it might be caused by buffer bloat, click on the analysis button after speedtest completes, it will show you idle latency, and then also latency during download, and finally during upload.

Interestingly Plusnet Community advise using BTW speed check which gives :-
