It's getting silly now, a speed test of under 2mbps unusable for work and broken connectivity throughout the day.
I had called the service team to look into this around a week ago and they made vague noises about looking into it but no incident number or call reference and no change in service.

Thanks for the tip on the BQM, I've set it up for my work computer (goes through a VPN) and when I get a chance do the same for my home laptop.
The ethernet issue is a bit tricky as both the laptops don't have ethernet ports, only our ye olden consoles and TV. We did have the ethernet connected to the TV but as we don't really use the TV itself (we use a Firestick) there didn't seem much point.
I'm talking with customer service about wifi pods as a potential solution but balk at the ongoing cost of them. Do they really add more than the one off charge of a WiFI extender?

Hi Yossarian22
Thanks for posting and welcome to the community. Sorry to hear of the WiFi issues. Before deciding on the Pods, please use the Connect App on your mobile - https://www.virginmedia.com/broadband/connect-app - when installed, you'll be able to do a WiFi scan in the property. Any coverage dead spots will be optimised if it can do, if not, it'll say you need to order a Pod 🙂
