Hi @denburydays,
Thank you for coming back to us in regards to your speeds.
I was able to locate your account and run some checks. I can see that your upstream power levels are not looking so great and are out of spec. This could be impacting your speeds and connection. However, as we're unable to resolve this issue remotely, I can arrange for a technician to visit you and look into this issue further.
Please let us know what you think. In the meantime, I will send you a Private Message to confirm a few details before I can have the appointment arranged. Please keep an eye out for a purple envelope at the top right corner of your Forum page.
I will be in touch soon.
Thank you,

Hi @denburydays
Speedtest is measuring your real-time network connection, so tests taken within a few minutes of each other might vary a little based on network congestion and available bandwidth.
How far apart in time were the previous speed tests you did from the Ookla one?
Kind regards,
Serena

Have you set up a Broadband Quality Monitor? It'll need the IP address checking and changing if you swap the hub between modem and router mode.
Post a LINK to a LIVE, SHARED graph here and we'll see if that indicates anything amiss. Usually needs to run for 24 hours before we can draw reasonable conclusions, but the live graph will continuously update so you can post the link immediately.

Hi denburydays,
Thanks for coming back to us on this one.
As mentioned by Serena above, when taking tests so close together it can alter the results. They would also vary as the Sam Knows test is testing the connection directly to the hub where as the Ookla speedtest will test from your internet connection which includes your router.
Can you try removing your router and connecting your device directly to the Hub 4 instead? Once you have connected it, you will need to reboot your hub to allow the connection. Just perform the one test and post a screenshot of your results here so we can help further.
The BQM graph link would be handy too as this will allow us to see any latency on the line.
Thanks,
