Even locally you don't have a dedicated connection, you share that connection with everyone in your neighborhood, that can also affect you're speeds. What is your real objective? Are you just trying to get a number or are you trying to stream something and it's always buffering? That may have more to do with what numbers you need and what you are getting. You might have a Lamborghini but you are still driving in the neighborhood, not the AutoBond....

If you are paying for a 400 mbps download speed and only getting 40, you have a problem.
