Re: wifi very slow
'PPPoA' and those very asymmetric line speeds indicate you are on one of the last remaining ADSL connections: that's now the oldest, slowest and almost entirely obsolete broadband technology.
If it's in the UK, putting the address into the BT Wholesale Availability Checker should indicate what might be available as an upgrade.

It's the table and the two text lines below it which are most useful.
Remove any personal information (such as the address itself) if you post an image.

Re: wifi very slow
Incidentally your Hub is receiving 6.6Mbs and uploading at 0.75Mbs (which is entirely plausible for ADSL2+ at around three kilometres from the telephone exchange) : the additional speed drop is probably down to local WiFi.
