While I don't have any particular networking knowledge, I'll try to explain my problem as best as possible. My parents bought an EE smart hub relatively recently. I've had the typical performance issues, random disconnects and slow speeds but they haven't been much of a problem since I purchased a booster that I've been using for a while now.
My overall experience with the broadband up until now had been satisfactory; I could play my games and stream shows, while my parents do whatever they do with their devices. But from as recently as the 31st of July, my internet connection has been struggling to keep up with anything even with most of the devices in my house disconnected from the router.
I went to manage my hub to see if doing a factory reset on my router would fix anything, but It didn't. checking my Hub's status I noticed that I had "Asymmetric connection speeds" where my downstream sync speed was 13.25 Mbps and my Upstream speed is only 426 Kbps.
I've been trying to do my own research and I have no idea what's causing my network to be so slow all of a sudden or what needs to be done to fix it.

Which EE BB plan are you on? What EE router do you have?
What does BT Wholesale Broadband Availability Checker estimate for your phone number? Post just the whole table and the line above it, blanking out your phone number. If it doesn't recognise your phone number or you don't have one, use the Address Checker.

You'll always have asymmetric connection speeds on this type of BB, VDSL. The most you could possibly get is 36 / 7 Meg. Have you previously seen faster than now in the SH+'s BB Status?

Yes I believe so. please excuse my wording, but I'm certain my speeds right now are the slowest I've seen them. And I haven't seen them go back up.

Can you post the whole of the BB Status page?

Thanks! There more detailed status page under Advanced Settings > Technical Log > Information. Obscure your names & any numbers in the BB Username & also the SSIDs.

Sorry, that router doesn't show the info I thought it did that would help further.
