    you lag because of latency/packet loss issues, not your bandwidth. Two exclusively different measurements of your "speed" on the internet that work together to determine your actual throughput during a given download--one term is misinformation from the ISP's to the point everyone uses it to represent their speed, while the other is the more appropriate metric to use. The game typically uses less than 1.2Mbit/sec bandwidth on average--it's far more dependent on you having consistently low latency than an absurdly wide bandwidth.

    I have super-noob basic internet and can count on 1-hand the times I've lagged in game.

    Because unfortunately, your down and up speed is completely unrelated to ping/latency, and it is the ping to the GAME servers (not the speedtest server) that causes the lag. Your internet connection is probably dropping packets somewhere between your house and the game servers.

    I won't even post the results, mine's horrible.
