When I test my broadband download speed on my Samsung A-10 tablet I get a reading of around 51mbps (5ghz wifi). Then on my other tablet, Fusion5, exactly the same SSID I get a reading of around 20mbps.
Does anyone have the same issue?

Not got exact same things but get various readings throughout the house from different devices at different times of day.
Only good way of testing what speed you get at home is hardwiring time router and running Speedtest.
Various factors disturb WiFi signals throughout a house and also depends on aerials within devices etc.

Yeah...connect the laptop to the router later. Thanks.Andy wrote:Not got exact same things but get various readings throughout the house from different devices at different times of day.

Just done mine, not the same experience: Speedtest showed 31.35, BT showed 32.4. Pretty similar scores.asl wrote:I like the way my BT-provided app tells me I have a download speed of 57mbps while SpeedTest says it's more like 22mbps. That's a shocking exaggeration by the ISP!

As mentioned, it comes down to a variety of factors and if it’s an ISP supplied router then it will never be the best, despite what they may claim.

Same here. I use BT smart hub 2 and the speed test on the BT app/website saying around 50 mbpsasl wrote:I like the way my BT-provided app tells me I have a download speed of 57mbps while SpeedTest says it's more like 22mbps. That's a shocking exaggeration by the ISP!

I'm with Virgin, I think I'm on 100mb. 4 or 5 year old Virgin superhub 2, 5ghz, currently 74.5 download, 9.83 upload. I think I'm a lucky one as I've seen a lot of people with Virgin superhub issues.
However, I have a fairly cheap tablet which struggles to even connect sometimes.

Cheap-ass Plusnet for us. Get about 65mb plugged in from office to the router along a 20 metre cable.
WiFi much less, between 5 and 20 depending on device but never have any problems streaming two different services on two different devices as the same time.
Not sure what I would gain from having 300mbs.

Turn the router WiFi off and put in a Ubiquiti UniFi AC AP Pro and it’ll be so much better.Shade wrote:I'm with Virgin, I think I'm on 100mb. 4 or 5 year old Virgin superhub 2, 5ghz, currently 74.5 download, 9.83 upload.

You mean put the superhub in modem mode and hook up another router? I have looked into it and probably will at some point.ctfc-fan wrote:Turn the router WiFi off and put in a Ubiquiti UniFi AC AP Pro and it’ll be so much better.Shade wrote:I'm with Virgin, I think I'm on 100mb. 4 or 5 year old Virgin superhub 2, 5ghz, currently 74.5 download, 9.83 upload.

Nope still use it as the router and just disable both wireless channels (2.4 and 5Ghz) and use an external access point. You can add a complete router though but cheaper just the AP.Shade wrote:You mean put the superhub in modem mode and hook up another router?

Our tv and random devices used to disconnect whenever they felt like it until I added the standalone AP

I think the government NHS Covid app could benefit from advise from some of the posters above....

It’s just one big joke. I had a pop up saying I’d been in close contact or something, clicked to go read the full message and the app opened and there is nowhere in there to read messages or see exactly what it was saying to do. I just got the all clear still.RegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote:I think the government NHS Covid app could benefit from advise from some of the posters above....

Then a few minutes later I had another pop up and again went to read it - still nothing in the app.
Where can you read messages in it???
Oh well.

Oh OK, I'll look into it. Thanks.
That’s to do with the way Google and Apple run the app. The newer version gives two pop ups, the second gives you the answer of whether you need to isolate or not.Andy wrote:It’s just one big joke.

It’s not Boris’s fault. Everyone wanted them to use the Apple and Google system and moaned when they didn’t but it’s limited and causing odd alerts as above.Red Duke wrote:It is good to know that NHS Covid App is achieving the world beating status as promised by Boris.

Yes it is Boris's fault. He is guilty of over promising and under delivering.ctfc-fan wrote:It’s not Boris’s fault.

merely following the startling logic of the Obi Wan Kenobi of stats and internet. However, given that, incorrect and tiresome are very apt adjectives for his preachingsRegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote:Incorrect. And tiresome.

Well you obviously struggle to follow the logic so let me spell it out.
1. If a couple of posters on the RNF experience different connection problems but the rest of the RNF and most CTFC fans commenting on Twitter do not then the obvious logic is the connection problem is at the user end. Not necessarily user error, but a problem of some sort known or unknown.
2. If nearly all posters on the RNF and CTFC fans on Twitter experience the same problem (as seen the other week for browser users) then the obvious logic is the connection problem at the supplier end.
It is that simple and I doubt anyone would argue against that logic. Apologies for having to spell it out so clearly, but it seems most of your angst is misinterpreting glib/flippant remarks where I assume readers will infer things - a bad assumption on my part so will try and spell out more in future.
In the case or the NHS app, the problem described is about how the app relates to Apple and Google software. So a problem at the user device, but one which should have been known and mitigated against by the NHS app developer.
