Paying for 1GB, but getting 100MB!!!
Is anyone else paying for 1GB speed internet and consistently getting speeds closer to 100MB? Why is it so expensive for the service and I can’t even get the speed I am paying for when I need it?

What speed are you getting? Are you testing over WiFi, (which is inaccurate), or over Ethernet?

If your download speed never gets above 100Mbps, you could have a bottleneck somewhere within your equipment. It could be a 100Mbps NIC or a patch cable that isn't rated for 1Gbps. If so, the reported download speed to your device will top out at around 96Mbps. However, if it has ever exceeded 100Mbps with all your current equipment, that can't be your issue.
