I'm new to Sonic fiber and enjoying the improvement in speed. However, I see that it falls a bit short of a Gigabit. I've run speed tests on a few sites (including Sonic's own) and see that it varies from 450-700 Mbps download and a upload does a bit better. Here is one that I just ran.

I am testing in an up to date Chrome browser running on an iMac running 10.12.6. I am wired to the SmartRG with Gigabit compatible cable (Cat 5e). I have not modified any of the settings on the SmartRG.
That bandwidth is enough for me as of now; put perhaps someday in the future, I will need more. What should we check to determine the limiting factor? Note that the measured speed does vary over time and within a test (download) it starts high, falls a bit and then recovers. I suppose my compute could be a limiting factor. Anything I should look for physically? Bends in the fiber cable, etc?
I suspect that this is the standard newbie question.
