I have FiOS and mine reads faster than the speed I pay for by about 100mbps both ways. The tech said they deliberately over-provision so that you'll get at least the advertised speed on wireless. I'm not sure who your provider is so this may not apply to you.
it's the fact that he has a 1 gig router. with overhead only like 940 Mbps is possible
That can’t be right because I’ve seen higher speeds than that during downloads with a download manager on my 1GBs infrastructure https://imgur.com/a/aIaVpi8
9k. somehow you have less overhead. or that counts the overhead into the total transfer speed. you still have less then 1 gbps
That’s windows task manager measuring the bandwidth at the network card. Not sure how or why it would incorporate switching overhead.
