It was a business provider called Unicom. Prices weren’t the best but the broadband was. Paid for 330mbps and got around 300/310. I was using their provided box at first then switched to my own and they both worked great.It was a technicolour router then a TP LINK router


Is it a TP-link you are using now? They are normally pretty good, but there are a few cheaper ones have lower spec Wi-Fi, so if you can post what model you have, that would be of use

As others have said, Wi-Fi is not great for doing speed tests, so many different versions in different devices and also many things can affect Wi-fi, need to use Ethernet.

I have a TP-link router, if I use my Mac on Wi-Fi, I can get around 480Mb/s, but if I use my phone in the same place I may get 100Mb/s if I am lucky.

I tested in a few devices like laptop and phone but this is all wirelessly not via ethernet


Then your testing is irrelevant


With the correct hardware installed you CAN get the max speed from you're provider BT.

I am also with BT on their 900-110 package and reaching max speeds without issue.

I've not said that it's not possible to get 900Mbps over Wi-Fi with the correct equipment and environmental conditions, I said that you can't run a speed test over Wi-Fi and use that to be sure you have a problem with your fibre connection.

a problem with your fibre connection.

"higher speed" would be worth adding in that sentance, since many providers sell 150 and 250 or 300 speed services over FTTP.
