Hello there.
I have a MacBook Pro 2019 15" and my WiFi speeds are super-bad.
I've compared with other machines in 3 different places (home, work, at friends) and it is always 1/10 of the speed or worse compared to my older MB air or iPhone (connected to the same WiFi ofc).
It is so bad, that I keep getting disconnected from video calls all the time. At work, while the others have like 3-400 mbps I have around 5-10 mbps and a huge latency.

As far as I know, this as been an issue from the start. However, I first didn't notice as I sat 2 meters of a WiFi access point at work, but as soon as we moved it a bit further away I begun to notice. Also, when at home, I can't sit in my kitchen because it is to far away from the router (speed drops to 1-5 mbps compared to 100 if I sit next to the router). Thought, my MacBook Air and iPhone get full speed from the kitchen...

Any suggestions?

Do you have Bluetooth enabled? I am having issues similar, and as soon as I turn off bluetooth they disappear.

WTF yes. My speed at least doubled with bluetooth turned off. That's a bummer because I use it most of the time with Apple Magic Keyboard, headphones and stuff.

My connection is unuasble with bluetooth enabled, no-one can seem to find a solution. I am trying to investigate more before going to the repair shop, who said this is only an issue for you. So far, 3 confirmations on here. Seems like its a wide spread thing to me!
