I like your thinking, but on the flip side Openreach are meant to be a separate company and no ISP should be footing the bill if OR are at fault.

You could take a wider view and say it is BT that has restricted my options to just 80/20 FTTP, although strangely some still seem to be offering 40/10. I am still not sure how/why this is but .....

Plusnet for example advertise offering 40/10 but when you go to accept offer it says it is not available.

I don't see a need to apologise.

The iMac can use wired or wireless, but I tend to use wired as I have the iPads and phones I use wirelessly.

Any chance you could resurrect / standup the Debian server for a few days in order to perform a wired speed test? Perhaps disabling any auto updates or letting them complete before performing a speed test?

Or connect your iMac via Ethernet for the speed test?

From your other post it doesn’t look promising for SIM based broadband

the imac normally does have an ethernet port.

Well my SIM based router is working! No idea how as lights are blue rather than green as per the manual, but hey.

I wonder what it is going to cost me?

Yep, I will do a test from the iMac.

Poor speeds from the SIM router, but hey it is working!

Yes, both mine have them.

ok, Please do the speed tests via the ethernet port on more "modern" one ..

Your BQM looks absolutely fine - When you eventually (as has been asked many times) test with a wired device I strongly suspect that all will be OK

Though if @hk11 is testing using their iPad, which is likely to be the cause of the problem in the first place, a poor result is expected...
