There are 2 types of speed tests: WAN and LAN.
A WAN test would be directly hardwired to the WAN port of your BGW210 to test the throughput of your AT&T connection. A LAN test would be from your router...either wired or wireless...to your device.
If you're constantly measuring 1 Gbps at your WAN port, AT&T is providing good service. If you're measuring less than optimal from either a LAN port or wirelessly from your router, it's your service. "Your" service meaning your equipment or your network.
I don't mean your equipment could be faulty because you could just have congestion on your home network.
Cox would use the same fiber as AT&T.
