I had mentioned this in another thread, but I think something was wrong with the wiring in my house, having the cable modem and wifi router upstairs was causing a lot of issues - it wasn't always like this, not sure what happened but moving the router and router to the first floor fixed it, and I'm getting near what I'm paying for
The slow performance was a slow degradation where a couple of months ago, I was in the low 700Mbs range, then 500, then slower and slower. Not sure the cause but moving things downstairs seemed to have fixed it. I also made some other changes not worth mentioning here

Just tested using Speedtest and got:
939 down
939 up
(over ethernet, old cat 5 cable, long run 75' plus, through an old TRENDnet switch to my m4 Mini)
This is with Frontier fiber, 1,000 service.
My house isn't large, two stories 1,400+ square feet.
I'm using the Arris router that came with the setup, works quite well, can deliver 500+ to my 2021 MacBook Pro 14 via wifi downstairs. Upstairs is a little slower, 300+, but still ok.

Over wifi, I have a simultaneous 1Gbps connection provided by my apartment running on a TP Link Archer AX1800 and a Zyxel NWA130BE Wifi 7 AP, this is also in an insanely congested area where at any point I can see 40-70 SSIDs. I get similar speeds over ethernet too but rarely ever need to connect to it since upgrading the AP.
