I ran the test 3 times and got Ping 30ms; Download 5.36 Mbps; Upload 4.53 Mbps.
This is the range I pay for with my cable package. I could get faster but the cost goes up. Not sure how they do that.

That sounds pretty good to me, I would be well pleased with that.

There are three of us using my connection right now and occasionally it grinds to a standstill while the boys are watching You Tube clips or playing games on Facebook.

What concerns me with a very fast connection is that the amount downloaded can skyrocket without being noticed, that can create problems with the fair usage policy.

My wife has "our iPad" and is online at the same time I am. Does not seem to slow me down or at least I have never noticed it. There's that "Facebook" word again o.O.
Not sure what you mean by "fair usage policy"?

Facebook, which I know almost nothing about, has a games section for children, my two boys Michael 12, and Christopher 10, like to play the games on there.  Their mother tried to explain the benefits and features of Facebook to me for an hour. She almost lives on Facebook.  I couldn't see any reason to get involved.

Fair usage policy is what I have on my Broadband service. My ISP allows me about 20Gb a month but they don't want me to use it all in two days, that would be unfair, they want me to spread that 20Gb over at least the whole month.  They are flexible on the 20Gb if I go over a bit that's OK for one month but not every month, although they will remind me I have gone over.

That said I would be pushed to get 20Gb in a month with my connection!

We have a REPORT button!
