Using PPPoE and DMZ / Advanced DMZ getting 1.6GB and 500Mb speeds indicated on router speed test

The connection is rated at 1.5GB down and 940GB up.

Having configured the service provider modem/router to allow access to an Asus router via Advanced DMZ with MAC address and PPPoE, I seem to be getting the full speed on the download side (1.5/1.6 Gbps) but am limited to about 520 Mbps to about 600 Mbps at most on the upload side, when it should be around 1 Gbps or 940 Mbps. 

When testing download/upload speeds with my Samsung phone close to the router I get right around 1Gbps down and 800-900 Mbps up. So, I guess that the router isn't measuring the upload speed properly.  Is there any way to correct the upload speed error? It looks like wireless clients are getting almost the full specified download/upload speeds so it must either be the router not getting the rated speed or an error on the router's calculated upload speeds.
