He said he ran the previous speed tests on the laptop using a wired connection. The wireless test is delivering the same result as the laptop and it is a different device using a different different connection method. I wanted him to do that specifically because I was really hoping that it was just a dodgy windows settings on oem app which was screwing up the nic on the laptop. I have been proved wrong

When is your second tech visit? When he comes round can you ask him if it is possible (if he has a gadget) that can do a speed test from VM's end to your connection in the cabinet and if that is ok, from the cabinet to where the cable terminates on the outside of your house. I know they can do it to check the power levels coming down the line and the other bits we have looked at but I don't know whether they can run a proper speed test. I am really curious to see whether this is something in your house or on the VM network.

Incidentally, did you try putting the shub in modem mode, connecting your new router and doing a wired test from your laptop. You should be aiming to do this anyway going forward as your new router is better than the shub and you will want it to handle all your traffic including wireless.
