How do i get a wifi booster?

[Paulhelp]

Hi, I have poor Wi-Fi upstairs and in the study. I can't move the hub so I think s booster would help. How do I get hold of one?

See this...
____________
VM now supply “wifi Pods” (no longer doing cheap and cheerless “boosters”). However, their Pods are only free to customers on the 1GB, Ultimate Oomph or Volt packages - is that you? If so they are worth trying - they should work for you.

If not… you will be charged £5/month. Its a simple solution and should work for you. However, you would soon pay off that cost by buying a "better" wireless solution that will be yours to own and use forever but it isn’t the simple plug and play option of the Pod(s).

Get either a… (1) Mesh System, (2) Wireless router, (3) Wireless access point (4) Powerline adapters, (5) A combination of (2,3,4).

£40-100 should sort it for most customers with an average property and usage.

Many thanks! I can't find a way to get hold of a booster/Wi-Fi pod online. Does it require a phone call?

Unless you have to pay the £5 per month rental for them, in which case don’t bother

If the page that link leads to is correct, VM aren't even operating a waiting list for pods, and all that page offers is a further link to fool punters into signing up for yet more of VM's horrible, gushing marketing bilge.  If only they put the same effort into customer service, or product availability that they put into marketing.

Hi @Paulhelp

Thanks for posting on our community forum!

Have you managed to sort the boosters out now? 🙂

Hi @Paulhelp,

I am very sorry about that. Did the team give any further information on when you would expect to hear more on this?

Thanks,
