1. Check that your NIC port speed is 1 gig and not 10/100
2. Check that your cable is Cat 5e or above and not Cat 5.
The reasons for the above: I complained vociferously to StarHub when I was on the 300 plan and could only get < 100. After a process of elimination, I realised that (1) the cable I was using was Cat 5 and (2) the USB-ethernet adapter I was using on the Macbook Pro was limited to 100. Changed the cable, changed to a thunderbolt-ethernet adapter and the problem went away.
My most recent speedtest, this morning, on a D-Link 868, using native AC:
(and yes, I'm very familiar with the difference between an ONT and a wifi router; you did the right thing by clarifying as you're right to assume that not everyone understands the difference).

Speed test on AC wireless via DIR-868L
Formerly on RT-N66U, wanted to upgraded to AC router. But decided not to go with ASUS as they have lots of issues on their wireless drivers on their routers. History repeats itself with their RT-AC68U with the latest beta driver.
what issue you getting with the 68u ? I've been using the Beta and have not experienced any problems (yet).

Thanks for sharing. Their 1G plan, speed does not seem promising at all considering the price.
Maybe they should rebrand this plan as 500M instead and revise the pricing as per other RSPs.

his yesterday's speeds was on Wireless.
anyone facing problems with the wireless router that starhub provides? i get intermittent disconnections throughout the day. i wonder if it's the router's problem and whether i should just get my own router.
starhub came and changed the router twice but still got the same issue, wanted them to change the fibre modem but they said it's definitely not the modem's fault if there is a connection.

D-Link 865 or 5402?
If 865, are you on 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz?
If you're accessing from the same room, do you still face intermittent disconnections?
