Sky's speedtest checks the speed coming from the line to the router.
A 3rd party speedtest will show the slowest part of your setup which is usually the WiFi. You need to use ethernet to check the speed reliably

Hi @Grav888
A private chat was started but there was no response within 48 hours so it has automatically closed.
If you still need help with this please let us know by posting on the forum again and we will get it escalated through to us.
