Re: Just changed to Gigabit Broadband and the speed is 160 mb, why
@sspurr0824 to get reliable speed tests on full fibre use a gigabit ethernet connection not wifi as the standard Sky hub is limited to wifi5 which tops out around 650Mb/s but can be much slower if the device is some way from the hub.
It doesnt matter that much as Gigabit service is far more about supporting many users at once rather than outright speed for one device. As in practice very few apps can use much more than 100Mb/s apart from downloading files but even then very few servers allow unlimited download speeds.
65inch Sky Glass, 3 Sky Streaming Pucks, Sky Ultrafast + and Sky SR213(white Wifi Max hub) main Wifi from 3 TP-Link Deco M4 units in access point mode
