Is it normal for my wifi speed to be 350 lower than what I pay for?

I'm paying for the 500 download speed and, on the wifi, I'm barely getting 150. When I'm on my computer, on ethernet cable, it varies between 350 and 500.

    Wifi is possible. For ethernet ask to Fizz to check signal.

    Technically, the 500 Mbps you’re paying for is the bandwidth from Fizz to your modem.

    The effective download speed to each wifi endpoints can be much lower and is affected by A LOT of environmental variables (distance, obstacles, signal interference, neighbour wifi, microwave oven, wall material and many others).

    Even if none of your device ever reaches the full 500 Mbps, multiple devices used simultaneously can still consume all allocated bandwidth.
