Signed up 4 weeks ago, requesting "prior visit" to pick best reception, cable minimality (refused-all will be sorted on the day).
After 3 weeks and a few outages I checked my speed, 25-40MB, rarely anything more. reading up it said don't put it near TV/aerial (guess what, its installed there-by a prev house owner). This should be a doddle.
After calling engineer out on a weakened signal, the plugs were replaced in the road (Unrelated?).
Spoke to engineer, there does seem minimal improvement, but where is the 100MB?
One other option to resite, but could create another problem, so highly reluctant to do that. Also don't want cables over the house. Am i alone on this (as a newbie). was stuck on the phone last week for nearly two hours, doing nothing whilst he played his end. Have seen 40MB once.
Any suggestions, i would want their help with an engineer, i am not one. I am confident its their error.

You need to connect your laptop directly to the hub, no power extenders, range extenders, etc, just one piece of ethernet cable connected to both the hub and your laptop. Disable WiFi on your laptop if you can.

are you testing the speed using a wifi connected device or an ethernet connected device?
if you haven’t yet, then you need to test with an ethernet connected device.
assuming you have checked with an ethernet connected device, then please post the stats from your hub..
browse to your hub on http://192.168.0.1 - don't log in, click Router Status - copy/paste the tables from the Upstream, Downstream and Network Log tabs back to this thread - you'll need multiple posts for this, the info wont all fit into a single one..

If you are connecting via a powerline booster even on short cables - speeds will be attenuated
My lad use a pair for his gaming activities in his room - he gets ~40-50 on our 200mbps service - its just physics!
Is that the case? If so go to the Hub and plug directly in with a new and known good ethernert cable and test again.
BTW - what make model of laptop are you using?

There are two passwords are you using the correct "settings" one or trying the wifi one?
If doing it over wifi - try over ethernet - and use different browsers
If that doesnt work - 60 second pinhole reset the Hub and try again

directly connected to teh hub, or via the powerline setup? the test needs to be performed with a device that is directly connected..
