If you can, I suggest finding other well connected hosts and using IPERF in UDP mode for your testing. Separating TCP long-fat pipe and slow start issues from true packet delivery/loss rates at a given bitrate are beneficial. Use Linux as most iperf windows builds are based on cygwin and have issues at higher bitrates.
