Full Fibre Gigafast underperforming?

@Sayek No issues, speed test just now below, wireless to the router.

Hi just picked up on this thread, i had a similar experience. Upgraded to gigafast and got another SR203 off sky when i asked for a new router.

Whilst the speeds (both to the hub and over WIFI) are an improvement on the Superfast i had before, i'm getting about 125mbs around the house over WIFI now.

I would have expected the speed to the hub to be c. 900mbs as its directly over FTTP but i'm seeing in the mid 600's.

I know this is highly theoretical as 150mbps is fine in practice at the moment, im just wondering why the gigafast isnt giving me nearer 900mbps at the hub, and whether the newer SR213 router would be better.

Bit diappointed to be paying for gigafast but not getting those speeds, even direct to the hub.

What sort of speed are others getting direct to the hub in a similar setup? and did a switch to the SR213 improve things?

Thanks in advance.

@Kenny+J The SR203 is a wi-fi 5 hub, and ethernet connected yes you will get the speed expected but on wireless connected, close to the hub then about 600Mb/s is the max and that is at a push, 500Mb.s would be the more expected....

And all assumes that your devices are at least capable off maintaining the required speed's.

Speed test above is on the sky FF500 feed, and connected wireless to the SR203 hub about 20foot away.

Thanks for the info.

Appreciate the WIFI speed is hugely variable based on proximity to the hub and through walls etc, but when i run a Sky service check which checks the speed coming into my hub, its still only showing around 650 rather than closer to 900 as i would have expected from a gigafast service as its FTTP?

Or are my expectations too unrealistic ?

Thanks

@Kenny+J Would have expected higher give it a couple day's to gather info, also only way to tell is the hub logs to the time it is checked at TR69 log, if at peak time on a busy FF circuit then it may be lower.... think my hub was checked at 8.24pm so was always up and down, can do a picture sample if you need.
