Running speedtest-cli while at the same time monitoring the traffic via iptraf-ng. Speedtest-cli: d:96.29Mbit/s u:96.88MBit/s iptraf-ng: d: 99997kbps u: 99993kbps
Probably should point out that I do have a bit of other network traffic running as well (such as music), which is part of why iptraf-ng reports higher values.
As I said, we get very close to what we pay for around here (stockholm/sweden)
One reason why I don't like to use the provided modem: I'm pretty sure it proxies speedtest. Things are fishy when speedtest works but pinging google doesn't.

When we were on AT&T, at times it was so slow I could not even get Speedtest to load.

Yeh... sometimes a ping was the only thing I could get through an AT&T connection without getting a timeout.
