Broadband

[steveanniss1]

I currently pay for 500Mb broadband and an receiving less than 70Mb. The VM line test reports there are no issues.

Is that over wifi or an ethernet cable connection?

If wifi test it on a Cat5e/6a ethernat cable. If on ethernet - swap the cable for a new Cat6a one.

Also, what make/model of device are you testing it on ?

Admittedly, I'm on WIFI but ordinarily my speed via this source is around 530 Mb.

Your device may be using the "intelligent wifi" feature and be connecting on the 2.4GHz wifi band as the signal is "stronger" - but which will always be that slow - rather than the faster 5GHz one.

Separate the 2 frequency SSID's in the Hub settings and than connect to them individually and do a speed test

Yeah band steering always sucks. I can't get around it at work, really.annoying. Band steering isn\t even part of the 802.11x spec haha!
