internet circuit speed test

We have a new 1G internet circuit, but when we do the speed test from close to the internet router, It shows only  700MB/S Upload and 400MB/S download speed only.  What could have been causing this

How are you connected to the router? Wired/wireless? If it's wireless then the speed will be restricted by the wireless connection itself. If it's wired are you connected directly to the router or via a network switch?

Ideally you want to connect a computer directly into the router via a wired connection (and have nothing else attached to it to prevent other devices using internet bandwidth).

Does your IP guarantee a 1GBps connection on your internet line? If not then the line may be shared which means the speed can vary depending on which other customers are also using the main line. If it is guaranteed and you still don't see the speed you expect it would be worth speaking to your ISP.
