Well I eventually sent mine back after firmware updates and stuff nothing changed, dodgy ethernet adapter might be wise to do the same
T8 - internet connection awfully low

I get faster speed on WiFi than I do on wired. I had an M8 which produced a lot faster speeds because it had custom firmware on that had all the network buffers tweaked. I have mentioned this to Silently Screaming and he said he has mentioned it to the developers. Apparently they emailed me to say they are working on a firmware update to address a problem I have with the 4K settings not being stable on my LG TV so maybe they will tweak the buffers while they are in there. Here's hoping.
Testing other firmwares right now, but I'm not getting anything better than my stats with the original firmware.
Using a network cable, my internet speed was the bottleneck. Pingtest speed test shows how using one speed test app alone can give bad picture, from 14 to 37 Mbit reported between apps, timing was pretty close. As with watching videos, some servers get overloaded, and can't supply enough bandwidth to your connection.
Anyway, for anyone interested,
ethernet downstairs
ookla - speedtest 37.94 down 18.02 up 17ms
ookla - speedtest 2 37.90 down 18.49 up 17ms
pingtest - 14.96 down 9.27 up 50ms

speedchecker - 33.5 down 16.91 up 34ms
speedchecker 2 - 32.45 down 15.2 up 29ms
Samba 1.71MB/sec
For the sake of comparison, my PC on a cable got 35.36Mbps down 17.81 up 17ms with Ookla.
WiFi was the same as old firmware, with results like this:
