exactly +1
Also, it will compensate for the loss in some off the shelf routers
when navigating the poorly written firewalls.

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.
