Heres mine- Not bad for being upstairs and far away from the router -Free HSD service since I work for Comcast!!!
I guess it isn't that bad, there's a massive difference between the fastest and slowest here. At least it's stable no matter what time of day it's being used and the ping never increases much.

I'm at the University of California - Riverside. I connect to a speedtest server in Los Angeles. We have multiple 10GB links at the campus borders, but I only have 1GB to my office ports (plus I only have 1GB interfaces in my Macs).
This is the current WiFi speeds we're getting on campus:
Not great, but it's probably worse in the common areas of campus.

So are you paying for the connection?
In theory, yes. By virtue of the lower paying salary I get as a State employee.
I'm on Virgin 120 Meg (120meg down, 12 meg up). I can get the full speed, however I'm in an office down the bottom of the garden which has a dedicated Cat5e gigabit line. The limiting factor is that I'm on a rMBP and use a USB 2.0 ethernet adaptor, which struggles to get to 100 Meg, and hovers around 85Meg (drops to about 70 if I start using a USB drive!). Will be upgrading to a USB 3.0 adaptor at some point to get gigabit speeds to the house.

Look at the ISP
Generally the only people on here over ~150Meg are doing the test at University/College/Work where they have access to a fast network. My old uni was on JANET (the UK ISP for education) and had to provide a microwave (line of sight) connection for local schools and colleges as it was cheaper than running fiber to them. So at the actual uni, the network speed was about 10gbps.
My post, two or so above, was done at work (a research university). For comparison, I live 1 mile away and this is what I pay for...
