This is not ADSL from early 2000's and does not need time to Sync so you have been told BS.

Use the link below to discover where the speed is being lost...

Speed test the service to a Router mode Hub + your device with the link below.
https://www.samknows.com/realspeed/

Once the test begins click on: Run full test to see all the stats.

The speed at the Hub should reflect your subscription.
The speed any Wi-Fi device draws data at is limited by its data needs and technical abilities.

Yes, that 2000 x 200 Tier look fine according to Samknows testing.  Looks like the LAN side of the connection is lacking, so that's a good place to start troubleshooting.

When I use Samknows, "Mobile Device" means connection is via Wi-Fi.

That could be why we see the Hub Downstream has dipped below the expected level.
