Yeh, on mine, I only get the full (1GB) on cable, wifi about half the speed.
Will the road max out at the 70mph speed limit before I hit traffic tomorrow?... Which road? What car?
Knowing the package you bought on your FTTP connection doesn't tell us much. What are the specs of the WiFi access point (AP) you're using? What's the receiving equipment? If you have a WiFi 7 or 6E AP with a capable receiver, then you'll likely max your line. If it's a Wireless AC access point broadcasting to a Wireless N card in a 20 year old laptop, probably not so much. Does that make sense?
Either way your best bet is always, always hard wired where possible. If there's even a possibility of cabling (even if that involves drilling a hole) I'd take it. Wireless will always have more jitter, latency and congestion than a good old fashioned cable. Enjoy your FTTP!

Well i am no expert but what ethernet port is available on your PC motherboard ? mine for instance is 2.5GbE some are only 1Gbe.
Why do you need 2.5Gb to a single PC especially if you only have 2 devices
A very good reason?
That aside, you need a router that can handle it (if not using ISP's one), appropriate network cabling/port of cable to the PC and a 2.5 supporting NIC on the PC's motherboard. If the PC doesn't have that then an add-in 2.5GbE card in a pice slot.

Well at the moment it takes about 13 minutes to download 100 gig. Some steam games are massive.
Anyway new issue. The apps on my phone arnt working right. Bbc weather. Playstation apps, just spinning circles. Any ideas? I connected to the 5ghz wifi my phone supports and messenger, chrome etc work on the phone just certain apps don't.
This depends what wifi you have; a decent wifi 7 router can do 1GB no problem

Hmmm
Are you using adblocking? Custom DNS? VPN? There's a thread here with someone who seemed to have a similar issue and it was a VPN update that threw things off probably around the same time...
