We usually provision at 10% over the speed.

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? 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.
