Oddly, the Xbone's latest test reported under 3Mb down... That's very much not right...

Keep in mind that those sort of speed tests are VERY far from being the ultimate oracle of network quality. All they do is cram all they can through for a few brief moments, and report how much they were able to cram. One anomalous result shouldn't be taken to have any meaning at all. That might have just been the moment when everyone in your city got home and started streaming Netflix. I'd say based on everything else you're seeing, your end is probably fine.

The most reasonable explanation is that there's a crappy route somewhere between your ISP and Destiny's servers. Unfortunately, your chances of actually tracking something like that down without the help of both of those entities isn't great. But it'll probably work itself out eventually. Things like that either get corrected, or traffic starts taking a different path.
