And just to be clear, I mean they ran a speed test FROM YOUR MACHINE, not some (non-existent) speed test they can run from their own side.

Forget about your work machine, that is not in scope and "logging into it" (Assuming a VPN) is a different can of variables.
I did the speed tests multiple times on wired and wireless. Wireless makes no difference for me. I am connected at 600Mbps Wirelessly. They did some "tests" there end which reset the modem into router mode and found no issues...

For reference I use this equipment:
https://www.ubnt.com/edgemax/edgerouter-lite/

https://www.ubnt.com/unifi/unifi-ap-ac-pro/

and a Cisco sg300 gigabit switch.

So my home setup is perfectly capable of 200Mbps wired and wirelessly (to re-clarify I have speed tested in both scenarios).

and no I didn't use VPN at work. I logged into the machine remotely and ran the speed test physically on the machine taking into account that I am actually using Teamviewer could possibly slow the connection down but not from 152 to 10 - 15 in download.

Anyhow last night I got 130 - 140Mbps which is acceptable to me during peak times.

Also on another note, why does YouTube load from a Virgin Media server? I assume its a "cache"? Any videos that load from there servers buffer constantly.. I found this by doing trace routes on certain YouTube videos.
