Usually the download speed is well over 100. I was trying to work but everything was incredibly slow. It was fine this morning. Had meetings etc. and all was fine. It went very slow in the afternoon and couldn't work at all so told my boss and had to stop working!

@lizzbizz What package do you have from sky? And are you doing this all as a wireless connected system, have any pods, booster.s extenders, mesh tied into the system. Networking is 100% shared, and one rogue device can cause havoc when you least expect it, not saying that is what is going on with what you have just making you aware.

I have Full Fibre Gigafast. We only have one router. No other devices to boost the signal.

@lizzbizz Try this speed test link below, has a lot off information, closer to the hub better the result, and do so at a few varying times so you can compare what is going on. Poor wi-fi device you will get poor results, and make sure that the wireless network is quite when you test!

Will find the post i did earlier and link so you can see what to expect. Look at picture on the link.
