Regarding 'quoted' speeds...
It is usually a good idea to assume that you will actually experience a minimum 10% lower bandwidth capacity...
And, it is even more probable that you should expect the difference to be more like 15% less than 'quoted'...
Many factors cause this, not least of which is the real-world physical distance involved between 'connections'.

If you experience observed bandwidth reductions that exceed 15-18% less than quoted, you should check various things in your registry and/or maybe complain to your ISP !

Have a nice 'ping' !
