I think the big guys do that Too. I remember getting a 100mb Comcast
coax line, and it testing at 110mb,so the tech could point at his laptop
and say OOOOO look!
I set the queue about 1-2mb higher than the plan rate.

Here are a couple screenshots showing my home at different speed
buckets using Preseem.
First one is provisioned for 5.3 Mbps down, 1.5 Mbps up. I made sure
to have no downstream traffic running but I do have one nest camera
uploading about 300-400 Kbps.
It looks like on this first one, I lost very little from provisioned
speed on a test. 5.07 Mbps to the set 5.3 Mbps rate.
Second speedtest is provisioned for 16 Mbps down, 6 Mbps up. Actual
test shows about 15.2 down, 5.2 up.
So you lose a little going through the network and my tests were run
on WiFi, not hardwired. They might show a little better if hardwired.

On a 25 Mbps plan for example, we provision the speed bucket to 28
Mbps flat. We use Preseem for the rate limiting. Generally on a
speedtest, we see 26-27 Mbps on tests when provisioned for 28 Mbps
on a 25 Mbps plan. If you provisioned to 26 Mbps, you would
probably see exactly 25 Mbps.
I think it's great to overprovision to keep customers happy. The
difference is negligible when you bump it 1-3 Mbps over the rate
plan just to help the speedtest get at least what they pay for.
It's easier than arguing with the customer.

Two part question:
1) If you set a speed limit, like 10 Mbps, using Preseem or
Mikrotik queue or something similar, what do you expect to see
at a speedtest site like speedtest.net <http://speedtest.net>?
I’m thinking something like 9.5 Mbps. I’m assuming the
bandwidth manager is looking at line rate but the speed test
looks at payload.
2) Do you “gross up” your speed limits so that the customer
will see 100% of the advertised speed when they run a
speedtest? If so, by how much? Or do you assume any
reasonable person when they see 9.5 Mbps but are paying for 10
will say “close enough”? I seem to remember that back when we
were doing lineshared DSL, Verizon grossed up the modem line
rates, but AT&T didn’t.
