This can be for many reasons such as you computer and or phone being unable to run that fast and depending on your wifi device, it may not got that fast either no matter how close you are to it when testing. Best to verify internet speeds when plugged into the router no matter which speed you purchased. If you have older devices, always have the installer show you the speeds you are getting as a verification of what you purchased before they leave the job.

Yes, and this is important. Testing with the devices you will use every day will show you what speeds those devices support, not what speeds the modem/router is providing.
The speed you purchase is the speed that comes through the wall and to the modem/router in your house. If you test at that point with the proper equipment then you should see the speed advertised by the provider. Of course, if the provider advertised "up to" a certain speed then all bets are off - you might *expect* to get that speed but that wasn't what was advertised.
