How reliable is Ookla Speedtest for comparing speed of two VPSs?

A month ago I got a VPS and I wanted to run speedtest so I downloaded the Python speedtest script and ran it without specifying a server and this was the result

Good, right? I shared it with my friend and he told me to use the official speedtest CLI because it gives better results. I installed it and, specified a close server (UPC Romania) then ran speedtest and that was the result

I even tried the same server with speedtest Python script and the official speedtest CLI, the official speedtest CLI was much faster. Did you know now why I asked you to use the official speedtest CLI and specify a close server?

Also about locating the IP you can use check-host.net it works very great and it also supports IPv6
@AmirGT Actually that is exactly what I thought I did if you look a bit closer at my previous post. I specified the "closest" server to the location of the VPS. And I added it with the official speedtest CLI. I've been using the official speedtest CLI with all my VPSs. Only issue I had was when the IP I got that was used for Tempe, Arizona looked like a German IP. You then helped me in the right direction. I doubt I'm going to get a better result, as when I checked the available servers in Arizona for the speed test, I could only find one in Nogales. But I can always check again later. I was hoping for one in Phoenix. Do you have an ID for a Server in Phoenix, Arizona?

Thank you to Post4VPS and VirMach for my awesome VPS 9!
