You actually have "Premier" (which is 3-5 Mbps) and our OP has the 
"Basic" or "Regular" which is around 1 down.  The price difference is 
$10/mo, I think.

For speed testing, I always use DSL Reports, which is the main speed 
test on the net, I think:

As I am, apparently, a zillion miles from a CO, I am on the lowest end 
of the Premier tier.
