Full fibre 900 low speed issues

Good morning everyone 

I wondered if anyone could offer me a bit of advice.

I upgraded to full fibre 900 on the 23rd December, and have been monitoring the speeds ever since. BT assure me I am getting 1G into the hub and I have full fibre turned on in the hub settings. 

So download wise straight from the smart hub 2 to my new laptop using an cat 5e ethernet cable, I get an average of about 300M and over WIFI about 130M using fast.com.

Considering I am paying for full fibre 900, are these speeds acceptable ? 

If not, how do I go about improving the speeds ?

Thanks for your help in advance 

Anthony

Re: Full fibre 900 low speed issues

Hi 

Thanks for your reply.

I Power cycled both the ONT and the hub this afternoon which has improved the ethernet side of things.

Using the BT wholesale test I now get an average of 500M between hub and my laptop using a 5e cable.

But the WIFI  still has a download speed of no more than 130M,  I appreciate WIFI has many variables and so there is no speed guarantee. But is a speed of 130M acceptable on full fibre 900 or could this be improved ?

Thanks 

Anthony

Hi @agrivosti and thanks for posting.

What have you tired to improve the wifi connection? Have you tried changing your settings? If not take a look at change wifi channel on BT hub 

Cheers

Hi @DavidM 

Thanks for your reply.

After the install by Openreach I was getting speeds of about 60M over Wi-Fi, the engineer blamed the hub and suggested I call BT, but after a hub channel change and a reboot my speeds average 200M ish over Wi-Fi . My Ethernet connection measures about 500M. 

I am paying for BT fibre 900 , so should I expect faster speeds than above ? 

please see below my Wi-Fi settings on the hub
