Is the PC on an ethernet cable connection to the Sky Hub?

@Martin+68 Depending on your PC Wireless comtroller and how good it all is, how far away from the acutual hub distance and objects between, then 100 to 150Mb/s may be all you get speed wise. Ethernet connected with all wireless off is the base guideline to see if all is good for speed testing! Some links below explaining it all!

And for speed related issues good read.
