I'm seeing that my upload speed (90M) is way under both what is advertised, and what other speed tests show. Is there a good way to test what my actual upload

  I see the same 90Mb/s as you, so I suspect they are capping at 90Mb/s. For another test, try fast.com and click "more info" after the download stops. I have fios 1Gb service. From clouldflare I see ~500Mb/s down and 90Mb/s up, and fast.com shows 600Mb/s down and 900Mb/s up.

    anecdotally - my results here show approximately the speed i'm paying for, which is higher than 90

  All of those tests show your actual upload speed. The whole concept of "upload speed" or "download speed" are incompletely defined questions. "Upload... to where?" The number that your ISP gives you is likely what they provision for your connection between you and your ISP The number that a speed test gives you is the measured bandwidth between you and the server on the other end. This is expected to be different for different routes across the internet. If you want to test just the pipe between you and your ISP, many ISPs provide their own speed test servers for this purpose. examples: https://speedtest.xfinity.com https://speedtest.xfinity.com https://www.verizon.com/speedtest/ https://www.verizon.com/speedtest/

  > Is there a good way to test what my actual upload speed is? Yes, use iperf or netperf instead.

  How do you make https://speed.cloudflare.com/ https://speed.cloudflare.com/ do the upload test? It only shows a download test for me...

    They were having issues with uploads so they turned it off for now.
