Stay with SKY or move to BT?

I currently have SKY Superfast, but rarely get the 48 mbps min speed guaranteed by SKY. Is it worth me looking to change to BT to get faster speeds? Or am i limited as they use the same lines? I am hoping that the new SKY router will improve things when that is launched.
 
Have you spoken to Sky about not getting the minimum promised so they can compensate you or fix?
 
They say im getting 61mbps to the router. I seem to get better speeds on my Series S than my pc, even tho i have upgraded the network card.

The router is in the living room i cannot connect an ethernet cable.
I guess the Series S gets better throughput as WiFi 5 or Ethernet cabled?

If the router can obtain 61 Mbps, steps could be taken to improve what is seen if using WiFi 5 or lower to get below 48 Mbps.

For about 14 years now, I've just gone with Devolo powerline adapters to avoid having to think about the issue of testing with direct Ethernet cable. The Magic-2 ones achieve 400 Mbps in my property but they are expensive.
