True. Although even on fibre, I only get 25Mbps peak. Often it's hovering around 18-20Mbps (which is not quite enough for 4K streaming, IIRC.)

Of course that's fake fibre aka fibre to the green cabinet in your street. The UK allows that to be marketed as fibre despite the large difference in performance to a real fibre connection.
Having since upgraded to real fibre (I saw the man splice it into the router connector with my own eyes), the difference is staggering - now I regularly get 500Mbps+ up and down with not infrequent 800Mbps+.
And even that is surely not just for you, but shared.
