With cable <DOCSIS 3.1 one can Snoop the management frames that will also carry the bandwidth definitions. Or with a compromised cable modem one could dump the DOCSIS config file that also contains that information. Or ask the ISP. Short of any of that one could run a umber of speedtests over a 24 hour period and simply extrapolate from the measured goodput to the required 'gross' DOCSIS shaper rate: Measured TCP/ipv4 goodput * ((1518)/(1500-20-20)) = lower bound gross bandwidth estimate DOCSIS employs a shaper to limit user's exceeding the contracted rates, that per DOCSIS standard assumes 1518 bytes of accountable raw frame size. Tangent that 1518 obviously is a 'lie' in that it does not include all per packet overhead in use on a DOCSIS carrier, but from an end-user perspective that difference is immaterial... I realize that you probably wanted something simpler and more accurate, sorry to disappoint.
