Poor wifi

I have sky 2gb package but when I do a speed test on my phone I get about 12mb download. Tested a few times over a few days. Tried sky app to see if any problems but says everything okay. Myself I am not so sure. Anyone else had the same problems.

@James__k that speedtest result is very slow. What have the results looked like with other devices e.g. laptop connected to the Sky hub? Have you done a speed test via Netflix, Roku, Firestick et al? How far from the hub are you?

Yeah similar type speeds for any device used. Using ethernet or wireless.

Is this the Full Fibre 2.5 Gigafast+ through Cityfibre?

What speed to the hub is reported through the MySky app? Are you using the Sky Gigafast+ WiFi 7 Hub and have tested an ethernet device connected directly to the hub (not through any switches or internal house wiring)?

Do check on local outages.

Then run the local checker.

sounds like an issue at Sky's end. If I ever run into connection issues I start at the hub with a laptop and ethernet cable having plugged out and restarted the hub... I assume you've done that? Sounds obvious but often time turning the power off and waiting a minute or 2 solves many issues.

Having done that and still an issue... you'll have to contact Sky
