The same smartphone receives 70Mb/s on my friends superhub 2. Any reason for this? I've tried different channels and modes but no joy. Thanks.

The lower speed you are seeing at your house is the top speed on the 2.4ghz band and the higher speed at your friends house is the top speed on the 5ghz band:

Still not what the superhub2 gave round a mates house, but I'm prepared to accept it I think, and testing via a samsung s3 appears to be a less than accurate method if I'm honest.

I really don't think your phone is connected to the 5ghz band in your house and/or you've got the Asus settings all wrong. Make sure you rename the SSID's of the 2.4ghz and 5ghz networks to different names to be sure.
Your laptop wifi card may also be capable of 70Mb on the 2.4ghz band. It's not a big ask of it, depending on the card's spec. So check that too.
