Promised -vs- actual internet speeds

I'm just curious what others are getting out there for speeds and what plans you're on.

I've got the 500/10Mbps plan. I check speeds when things are slow. I've never gotten above 100Mpbs down, and it's usually around 50-100.

Upload speed is pretty steady at 9Mbps.

I understand I can't expect 100% of the plan's speed all the time. But shouldn't I be able to expect more than 10% all the time?

What are you getting?

    I have same plan, I get 500 in morning and evening but during the day, it's varies from 150 to 350.  Internet traffic and bandwidth sharing at busy times.

    How are you speed testing...directly to the modem or through the router?
