Hi,

Recently upgraded from m200 to m500.  I was expecting quicker speeds.  Unfortunately i am receiving wifi speeds less than 70mbps , which is quite shocking.

Have done a few tests via speed test , average speeds are 48mbps I would appreciate help.

Thanks

Were your Wifi speeds higher with 200Mbps?

Could you access your router using http://192.168.0.1/ or http://192.168.100.1 for modem mode . Don't log in, select the 'Check Router Status' option and paste your 'Downstream', 'Upstream', and 'Network Log' tabs?

Yes, the speeds were much higher with 200Mpbs.

I had an engineer visit the premises and he told me virgin aren't providing m500 in my area, even though i was upgraded to m500.

As requested please find info below:

If the engineer said VM aren't providing 500Mbps in your area you need to check with VM why you were upgraded.

Could you confirm what speeds you achieve on a wired connection?
