Well, it might depend of what customer experience is for their use-case.
If you have residential user with 1Gbit with 4 users behind wifi, i can
imagine more than 100Mbit/s will not alter their experience. Not way
less, 4 times 4K youtube video will eat around 80Mbit/s.
But if you have power soho/enterprise customer which is using the line
for offsite backups or file synchronization and is well aware of
limitation of underlying protocols and is able to use multiple
sessions(lanes) it might be a bit different here.
You get what you pay for really, if you buy a residential connection,
which has contention in the small print, no guarantees of service in the
contract and then start to use it for business use then it's a case of
caveat emptor.
Enterprise customers (with a business contract and strict SLA) can be
asked to produce traceroutes (to prove everything is on-net), run iperf
on clean systems directly connected to CPEs, etc... Start doing that
with a residential customer and you'll quickly reach the point where
they haven't got a clue what you're saying.
From this point of view is speedtest.net providing best available
service. It runs on all of end-devices, can mimic end-user experience,
and network engineers did not come with anything remotely comparable :).
