You can use Wireshark in a pure observer mode to monitor your upload/download traffic and generate the traffic itself by contacting several (geographically separated) servers with other tools (like you did) in order to try to saturate your DSL link. Such a measurement should be rather objective. Again, you would ideally run it on another computer that you put on the same network as your “download test sink.“
PS: Think of your room/housemate and neighbours, who share the bandwidth and will notice that their “internet is slow again today” when you are doing your tests.
