Mobile Wifi gone slow

My Vodafone mobile wifi device (Huawei R215) has suddenly gone from being really fast, to really slow. This is quite disappointing as I'm paying £9 a month for a device which now appears to be rendered useless.

 

Whats really confusing though - when running a speed test from my iPhone connected to the Vodafone 4g network I get 2.6mb download. When I connect to the mobile wifi device, which also reports that it's connected by 4g (and is less than a meter away) I get 0.22mb

 

This didn't used to be the case, and up until recently I've had much faster speeds via the mobile wifi device than without.

 

Does this suggest a fault with the mobile wifi device itself? According to the device I've downloaded 88Gb of data since I first got it which sounds about right. If so I was expecting to get more use out of it.

 

Ive contacted Vodafone and they said that they checked the network in my area and that it's working fine.

 

Im baffled, can anyone help me out here please? Thanks
