Slow Broadband Speed

Hi all,

I pay for 1gbps broadband speeds but for some reason only getting 100mbps.

When I restart the router and/or the openreach fibre box, I get 800-900mbps which is what I expect, but I only get these speeds for 30 seconds to a minute before they return to 100mbps

I have tried all the help routes on the sky website and even tried ringing them but can't seem to get through to a real person. All of the helplines typically end up in doing the service check on the MySky app which tells me I'm getting 905mbps to the hub which I am not getting at the moment.

I have tested the speeds on wireless devices as well as wired devices. All speeds similar at around 80-100mbps. The wired devices are wired using CAT8 Ethernet.

I know it is not a cable issue as I have used these cables elsewhere and held a stable 1-2gbps.

If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it!

Ben
