Broadband Speed - UPC

    I am using UPC Horizon Box and noticed today that my broadband speed was very slow. I ran some tests on speedtest.net and got 118 on Ethernet cable and only 42 on Wi-Fi. Also got 40 on my smartphone.

    I called UPC and they told me that I should be getting in the region of 200 on Ethernet connection and that they would do a "factory reset" on the modem. When I asked them what about Wi-Fi, I was told 40-50.

    Is this just that their Wi-Fi unit in the Horizon box is crap, or would I only get that speed even if I bought my own router.
