'Sky' won't respond here.

 

If you post your Hub stats, we'll have some information about your particular phone line and internet connection to work with.

 

Note that it's speed arriving at the Hub which counts against the minimum speed guarantee, not speed test website results on a wireless device.

Re: speed of internet

I found the culprit, my work VPN was severly impeding the internet, once swtiched off the normal speed returned.  Thank you @TimmyBGood for your help

That makes sense, and the VPN would also have been preventing access to the Hub.
