So they are providing both transport and bandwidth?

 

Is the gigabit limit imposed by some sort of rate limiting mechanism, or is it 
actually a 1 gigabit physical circuit?

Have you checked the latency to the speedtest servers?

 

Have you captured the speedtest with a capture tool (wireshark) and looked for 
retransmissions?

 

Even though it has largely not a problem anymore, latency can affect TCP/IP 
performance.   Also, even tiny packet loss can cause problems in obtaining full 
speed.

 

Is their iperf server perhaps running UDP and yours running TCP?

I’m at a loss on this one. 

We have a circuit with a fiber provider that aggregate at prime time can hit 
800mbps download. 

However, with a high end laptop connected directly to the fiber NID we can’t 
get more than 200-250mbps sustained download to any speed test (speedtest.net 
<http://speedtest.net> , fast.com <http://fast.com> , speed.ui.com 
<http://speed.ui.com> ) and it just starts slowly going down. Upload is around 
800mbps. 

Same laptop on a Level3 circuit will easily hit gigabit in both directions. 

We setup an iperf server and see the same thing. The provider brings an iperf 
server in and they can hit the proper speeds going to an off net iperf server 
they have.  Provider speed tests to our iperf server and gets the slower 
speeds. 

They say because they can’t find an issue when using their iperf server there 
is no issue. 

I don’t even know what to suggest at this point.
