Capitalizing on the higher speeds, how?

[wireless]

This is a little bit “what do I do” and a little bit of a whine post. Sorry...

I just upgraded my TELUS Internet. I had recently been running 150. We have had Fibre for several years. We have 3 wired TVs, and multiple wireless phones, iPads, laptops. But there are only 3 of us, so how much could we possibly be using! I had come to the end of our term some time ago and hadn’t reupped. Our 3200 cratered and TELUS came to replace it. While I was on the phone I started chatting with the agent about increasing the speed. As I wasn’t on a term any longer I thought trying 300 might be an interesting experiment. Long story short, I ended up signed into the 1gig service. Was going to cost me less so why not. I haven’t been unhappy with the service but......
So I haven’t really noticed a great difference in speed. Speedtest says I am hitting 250 to 300, not anywhere near 1 Gig. I appreciate that we are sharing the 1 Gig but I would expect more than a boost of 150. I was on a Zoom call and got the “unstable message” 3 times! Really?!
I really think that the marketing of these services is a little suspect, if you aren’t likely to be able to get the speed, they should say so.
is there something that I can do to better this? I understand my phone alone should be capable of more than twice that speed on Wi-Fi.
Anyone? Thoughts?
