This host is hardwired. There is no local network issues. I can reproduce this throughout the day; peak and off-peak. 

 

https://kitz.co.uk/adsl/btwchecker.php - Shows my last observed speed as:

 

Observed Speeds

VDSL

Max Observed Downstream Speed (Mbps) 37.21           Max Upstream Observed Speed (Mbps) 15.85           Observed Date 2019-01-29  

 

Any idea what is going on here?

Your connection also seems to have been up for almost 3 months with no drops.

Can you reboot your router letting us know how your speeds look afterwards? If your speeds haven't improved then I'd recommend following the steps Here raising a fault to us Here.

From 31st October 2022, I no longer have a regular presence here as I’ve moved on to a new role.
