Ok, there is more to this, think it might be a flaky card as earlier this evening I lost all connection to the network, reset the network on the laptop, it connected then cut out again, rebooted, still no good, checked in device management, yellow triangle and failed to start message on the killer, disabled it, the re-enabled it & it connected, but still very slow compared to the phone (about half the speed), I'll check inside the laptop in the morning

Absolutely - I was most surprised I got the 650, when I was told that at the moment I was on M500 as 600 wasnt available yet in my area LOL...

That reminds me.....

Many years ago my Father was harrassing his service provider because he had paid for 2MB Broadband put was only getting speeds in the region of 700k at most - less than 40% of what he was paying for. After the usual round on the phone of "turn it off and on again" the Customer Service guys final recommendation?

"If you drop down to the 1MB package, then your speed would increase to 70% of what you're paying for."

I'll never forget his face! 🧐 :oops:

well that's more like it, took the back off and one antenna cable came off just by touching it, the other one was on firmly, so reattached the loose one and put the back back on, fired it up and still no difference so took the back off again and completely removed the card and put it back in, put the back back on and then retested, the result is in the screenshot

They're so handy for the long term... expensive, but after a few years you realise how much effort and money you've saved on buying those shocking compressed air cans.
