As with all broadband, you're 'paying for' speed delivered to the router from the internet, not speed over WiFi from the router to client devices.

299Mbs would be a good wireless speed for an 802.11ac ('WiFi 5') device.

@Jp15 You would need both a Wifi 6 router and device to get 900Mb/s over wifi. The new Sky Wifi Max hub is a Wifi 6 unit but costs an extra £7.50 a month or you could splash out on a third party router but before doing so consider which if any apps you use can use let alone need such speeds. Most apps need well under 100Mb/s.

If you test over a gigabit ethernet cable connection you should see 900Mb/s.
