Download speed on 18-20mbps

I've checked my download speed on 3 different sites and all show speed between 16-20mbps. This isn't good enough. When I'm paying for fibre 500.

@Barry127 @ian2512 General speed reduction about 50% just now, the OR backbone will be struggling, probably the champions league final for all the footy fans.
