Wi-Fi Speed

bobbar1 — Mon, 01 Sep 2025 17:23:22 GMT

I have 500Mbps that comes into my property and tests at approx that speed.

When I test it in the next room it drops to approx. 200Mbps and if I move into the main TV room it drops to below 100Mbps.

It shows on my Firestick plugged into my main TV consistantly under 100Mbps

Any ideas, thanks.

@bobbar1 You've posted in the Sky Go part of the community, this isn't a Sky Go issue

Who provides your broadband?

Well, yes, because WiFi attenuates through walls: it's always zero Mbs not far outside the property for example. Maybe keep in mind that streaming UHD only requires 30Mbs at most.
