Hi @loverboi receiving more data than you send is quite normal especially if you are watching video. If its only a replacement hub there isn't a training period which applies to new connections but even that is a bit misleading your line is actually delivering all Sky have let it deliver.. 

You hub is hitting exactly 40Mb/s which either means you are on the slow 35Mb/s product rather than superfast or Sky have provisioned you onto the 40/10 line profile rather than the 80/20 profile most Superfast customers are on. They do this where the line has a handback speed below 40Mb/s but going by the noise margin your line could deliver quite a bit more.

@Chrisee but when said that openreach was getting 60 to the socket? but who's right or wrong 😞 but but they said no thats not right and thats when iu sttod my  ground and said thats what openreach said but they were being stubbon about a replacement router untill i said to her and then she saw the notes about that the openreach man said i should have a replacement router as i requested a replacement over the phone on friday last week and recived it on saturday  🙂

@loverboi 60Mb/s sounds about right for the maximum connection speed for your line. Openreach engineers blame routers when they cant satisfy cudtomers oddly Sky engineers blame Openreach's lines ie blame the other lot to get out of the door

The reson why your speed is fixed at 40Mb/s is because that is the line profile Sky have used to provision your line. As I explained this is Sky's policy where FTTC lines have a minimum guranteed speed under 40Mb/s. Not sure if other isps follow the same policy but Sky have done this for years.
