Are you using cabling or are you on Wifi? If it is cabling, it is natural that the transfer will be of better speed and stability.
I believe that by announcing 1gb, the manufacturer of a router is guaranteeing an “official” maximum speed that it is capable of traveling, it does not necessarily mean that some extra megabytes can not be transferred.
It’s more reasonable to announce 1gb than to advertise 1.2 and have hoards of clients complaining that they are measuring only 1.1, for example. Anything that exceeds this 1gb “limit” will be perceived as bonus and customer satisfaction with the brand will be higher.
While this overprovisioning can be the case with any plans under 1gbit, If your ethernet card in your computer is only connected at 1gbit, then it can’t go any faster than 940mbit/s. If your gateway and PC both support & connect at 2.5gbit or higher, and your ISP has the uplink connected to higher than gig all the way through their plant, then maybe you could get more. Likely they are saving their multi gig switch ports for people paying for more than 1gbit.
