>>UPDATE. Before, I was simply entering "Internet speed test" in the Google. And I was getting pretty low speed results. I just tried the
www.speedteset.net and see much higher speed (up to 90+ mbps download). I wonder which one is more or less accurate.

>Cable offers usually higher rates per $, but other traffic can influence rate - over here, guarantee is only half of booked rate. Most of the times you get +/-10% of booked rate, but have patterns in time of slower or faster speed which do not (r at least not in similar size) happen on [A,V]-DSL.
Thank you for your input. So far, my cable company ISP provides pretty good speed. For work and movies/series streaming.
