That's my philosophy as well. 5% is sufficient I think. You can try to
explain packet headers and other overhead, or just give them a little
bump and avoid having to field the question.

I have always bumped them up by 5-10% to do our best to ensure that the
customer gets more than we promised. Saves a lot of explaining on the
phone!

What we have learned is that none of our speed plans deliver a payload

them up a bit or put an asterisk on all of our advertising.

It's not dependent on the laptop being in good working condition, free
of malware, good ethernet chipset, etc.
But to play devil's advocate here....you can get a pretty decent
laptop for what that tool seems to cost. Seems to be about $1000
based on my initial Google shopping search. Maybe you pay less in
real life.

That seems inline with a bunch of tests I've seen against my
speedtest.net server.

Exfo has a new tester that works with ookla.
We just got one to try this morning.
This is a 1 Gig test.
Spot on when you net out the TCP/IP and other overheads.
