Hi @Chris Eustace,

Welcome to the Community!

Your hotspot broadcasts Wi-Fi on two different frequency bands: the 2.4 GHz frequency band and the 5 GHz frequency band.

Please check your hotspot settings and check which frequency you are using and test both frequencies to see if that improves things.

Please can you test the SIM in a different handset or the old handset if you still have it.

If the speed improves in a different handset it could be a handset issue and you can have this checked with the manufacturer if the handset is still under warranty.
