Am I on a 1 Gbit port?
I had this server on a provider and I have never bothered to check the speed until today... I used the speedtest-cli to measure the speed. Is this accurate? Any tools I can use that is more accurate? Am I actually on a 1Gbit port?

Thank you. Wholesale Internet.
Mega bits?
Mega bytes?
Isn't that a 100 Mbit per second?
That is 100mbps not 1gbps. Maybe the speedtest server is the one with 100mbps and not your server.
Doesn't look to be gigabit. However you are using speedtest, which is capped at 100 mpbs in most places.
Try this:
Seriously? It says Upload: 92.92 Mbit/s and NOT Upload: 929.2 Mbit/s

@OP as others have rightly pointed out, you are not on a Gbit but 100Mbit port.
@edoarudo5 That seems exactly like 100/100Mbps to me.
I had this server on May last year, wow, didn't know I was paying for what I didn't exactly order, my bad. I sent a ticket to the provider regarding this and now awaiting their reply...

I like how you order a service for a year without using it, this is so LET style.
Question: How do you Wholesale Internet?
Based on one Speedtest ? You really should do a couple more tests.
I think they already fixed it for me. Here are the new tests. Thanks guys!

now you should also get a refund.
/me is a spammy mcspamster
That looks like gig there.
Umm, really?
Try to download a file of your choice using 'wget' and see the speed it shows. You can also put a file in the server and try downloading the same from your PC. Most web browsers show the download speed. In that way, you will get the download and the upload speed of your server.
If you want to know about the hardware, try the following command. It will show the network hardware.
lspci | egrep -i --color 'network|ethernet'
