Speed test

Got fibre 300... Both speed Tests I've used Ookla and Fast... Neither even 90mbps. Am I missing something as Sky say it's 308 on the Sky app!?

Probably,  yes.  The Sky test reports speed delivered as far as the Hub over optical fibre and ethernet cable: if you are accessing those sites using a wireless device then what you are testing is the local WiFi.

Re: Speed test

Understood but 75mbps?! Who pays much heed to ethernet speeds as almost everything in the house is WiFi?!

Re: Speed test

What device are you testing on and in which room, how far from the hub?

My iPhone 17 in back room 2 away from router but there's a booster about 4m away from me open door. The Firestick shows even less speed making streaming nigh impossible on HD so using SD 😞
