ISP's guaranteed bandwidth

Hi,
My ISP says I am paying for 1Gbps circuit with 300Mbps guaranteed.
How can I verify this for myself?
Are there any tools I can use to verify my GUARANTEED bandwidth?
The vendor has provided me with a tool that shows my 1Gbps bandwidth

These all are estimates and will reflect the limit on your or their side.

There is a mini test there that you can setup on your end and have the speed tested from remote locations.

Tge only way to confirm what you have allocated is to monitor the bandwidth usage while at the same time saturating it, I.e. Trying to see whether you can retrieve huge amounts of data at the same amount of 300Mbs  for a sufficient duration to be reflected in the data collection.
