Online speed testing is done by sampling low level TCP parameters like send window sizes and the like. It's not just a simple download for X seconds then divide amount by X seconds measurement (which would actually be more accurate)

Chrome may open TCP sockets in a slightly different way, perhaps even just initially, so the test is fooled.
