Upgraded from 100 to 350. No joy.

Hoping there's an answer to this. Always had 100 broadband on my v3 hub. Last week I had it upgraded with a new 18 month contract to 350. Was not getting any faster then a maximum 130 on a wired connection. Had an engineer over last weekend who removed a 6dBm attenuater. Was told that was the issue. As of today. No faster then 130 even on a wired connection. Been onto customer help, had an engineer over. What can I do next. Thank you.

Check the conf settings on the Hub. It will show what speed has been provisioned.
It's Configuration tab - Primary Downstream Service Flow - Max Traffic Rate.

Try a 60 second factory pinhole reset as below;
Remove any ethernet cables from the Hub and hold the pinhole reset switch for 60 seconds. Do NOT reboot the Hub, just let it do it's thing. Note you will need the passwords from the bottom of the Hub afterwards, so make sure they are legible.

Post the power levels, Pre and PostRS errors and network log from the Hub. Also setup a BQM to monitor your circuit www.thinkbroadband.com/ping Once done we can comment.

If using a Windows based machine, try a direct cabled speed test using "Safe Mode with Networking Support" option in Windows.

That's the wrong information, please post the Configuration tab - Primary Downstream Service Flow - Max Traffic Rate.   This will show the speed tier that is set on your Hub.

The rest of the stats look fine, by the way.
