Since December 2018 I have had g.fast with TalkTalk, it only dawned on me a few weeks ago that I have never reached the guaranteed 290mb downstream. The most I have reached is 240mb, and whilst I am lucky to have that I am paying for more and feel entitled to it.
I have a Huawai MT992 which the TalkTalk Wifi Hub connects, I have run speed tests during peak and non-peak times, over wireless and wired with just my laptop connected.
Have worked in tech support for years so understand how to troubleshoot.
TalkTalk have taken a look, they see 350mb when testing to the router. They sent me a replacement router which didn't improve things at all.
My line is short, when the BT OR engineer installed the line his equipment synced at 500mb.
So is the hardware at fault here? Do I spend money on a new router to connect to the Huawai? I'll need one that has a WAN port of course. There is a limited selection of routers which support g.fast natively.
Any suggestions most welcome.
