Are my internet speeds good for my service?

Spectrum Internet (100Mbps)

My speeds weren't good after the TWC to Spectrum switch over.

So I replaced both my old Linksys Wired Router & Linksys W.A.P. with a
Linksys MAX-Stream AC1900 MU-MIMO Gigbit Router Model# EA7500

I ran speed tests earlier and got these results:

1/28/18
Speedtest.net
DL 71.22 Mbps
UL 11.77 Mbps

Spectrum Speedtest
DL 70.06 Mbps
UL 11.98 Mbps

How do my results look? Am I getting good speeds for my plan?

I did also pick a ARRIS SURFboard SB6190 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem.
Should I use this instead, or are me speeds fine?
 
What are your speedtest results when you connect a PC directly to the cable modem? You should be hitting close to the 100 Mbps mark, if not a bit higher.
 
My Guess is that the Router has Nothing to do with it.

This might help - "I did also pick a ARRIS SURFboard SB6190 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem.

if you bought it, try it and see. No point asking us when you're the one who is physically on that network. We have no clue about your local network conditions.
 
I swapped out the Ethernet cable I had connecting my modem & router. I reset my modem, and ran some speed tests.
This is what I found:

2:32 PM
**Speedtest:
Ping 123
DL 104.02 Mbps
UL 3.07 Mbps

2:36 PM
Verizon:
DL 118.12 Mbps
UL 10.59 Mbps

2:37 PM
AT&T:
DL 119.1 Mbps
UL 7.65 Mbps

2:38 PM
CenturyLink:
DL 117.8 Mbps
UL 10.3 Mbps

2:40 PM
COX:
DL 111 Mbps
UL 9 Mbps

2:42 PM
Xfinity:
DL 159.55 Mbps
UL 15.64

2:44 PM
Spectrum:
DL 115.40 Mbps
UL 10.82 Mbps

How does that look? Is a tech visit needed to check my lines? Or am I right where I should be?
 
On TWC systems (currently Spectrum) Cable TV, the Upload is always about 10% of the Download.

I.e., 100 Mbs Download and 10 Mbs Up.

There can be minor changes on one or the other depending on the time of the day and quality of the installation.

As an Example, Spectrum NYC currently yields on my connection 119 Mbs Down 11.9 Mbs Up.

During the middle of the night it might go Up by about 5%, in the middle of a working week days it goes down by about 10%

I do not understand the Multi Speeds test that you posted above?

If your connection is Through Spectrum the info about Cox Verizon etc. is meaningless to your system.

I ran some speed tests using other sites. I wasn't really trusting of Spectrums results.
