70mbps

Ive got 300mbps wifi only hitting 70 got naibours who are getting 300 with 0 issues and other companies coming to my door telling me they can guarantee 500 so why am I being scammed out of £34 a month paying for 300 and only getting 70 ...........

You presumably have 300Mbs broadband

Broadband is not WiFi.

Any company saying they can guarantee 500Mbs WiFi is lying.

The speed you are getting is to your hub/ router which is what you are paying for, wifi signal is less stable and other things can effect it, like the more devices you have connected to the wifi the weaker the signal gets and if you live in an old house with brick interior walls this can effect your wifi signal to, you my need a wifi booster, you can ring sky and ask for one

Im hard wired cat 8 cable so walls have no effect and my naibours all have the same design house and sable cables going into the walls they have good speeds and mine is tragic keep getting other brand band companies offering me way faster for significantly less money a month

@Jimbo2000 With the speed you are quoting the Wan connection port 4 off your sky Hub to the ONT Lan is the one to be looking at incase you are stuck down on the 100Mb/s speed sync!
