Used to have BT FF900 for good 2 1/2 year now, and:
- LAN speed was in range of 850-930 Mbps down / 100-115 Mbps up constantly
- WiFi speed on BT SH2 was ridiculously slow, on better days up to 300, very rare up to 400-450 Mbps down.
This is down to 2 things:
BT SmartHub 2 (and EE Smart Hub) is the only WiFi 5 device, with a limited 5 Ghz band only effectively to 3 channels with 80 Mhz bandwidth.
Interference from neighbors up, down, left and right is at apartment building absolutely ridiculous, and limiting anything on basic WiFi bands, even with best routers, not alone with BT/EE router, which is fairy basic...
For this reason, almost entirely I had WiFi off on my BT SH2, and manage it on my own third party devices.
With WiFi6 omada Wall plate, my speed went up to 700-750 Mbps, which was acceptable...
Now, when I am on EE 1.6 Gbps package, I have 1.1-1.3 Gbps down and 100-120 Mbps up via EE Smart Hub Plus (2023) and 950-1000 Mbps down on very same Omada Wall Plate (recon, as this is on 1 Gbps LAN backbone and not capable to do anything over this).
Obviously, LAN via EE SHP (2023) is limited to 1 Gbps as well, but when directly connecting my Laptop with 2.5 Gbps LAN card to ONT and configured PPPoE, I got 1.6-1.7 Gbps, which is in line with the expectation. Once my backbone and Omada AP are upgraded, EE SHP (2023) will go under the bed to box, and I am pretty sure, as most of the time, will see 1.3+ Gbps down even on wifi, whilst this is now peak, what EE provided router can give me...
