You spend a lot of words pushing a narrative.
Not even centrally located.

My TMobile router is at the end of my house closest to the cell tower for best reception. I ran three speed tests standing five feet from the router and three more at the other end of the house in the bedroom. There was essentially no difference at all.

"Essentially" because two of the three tests were faster in the bedroom, farther from the router. My *guess* is that the rate was bouncing between 300Mbps and 320Mbps and it just happened to be at the higher end when I was farther away from the router.
