You can test it by going to Fast.com and it will tell you your speed.
One of the techies from the Geek Squad at Best Buy told me that one way to prevent your internet service provider from throttling back your speed is to own your own modem that they can’t control. Not sure if this is true or if the guy was just trying to make a sale. Maybe someone with more knowledge could weigh in.
