Broadband and sky tv issues (uk)

Ok so I’m not particularly tech minded so apologies in advance, the situation is this. We live in a fairly large house (around 5,000sqf) and we are in the countryside. Our broadband is provided by Vodafone and we have had ongoing issues since instalment a year or so go.. some days are worse than others and we have had ongoing communications with Vodafone and they acknowledge issues with our line and then say they have fixed said issues.. to which our internet works smoothly for a few days then back to the same old.. we have several booster boxes strategically placed around the house but don’t seem to do much. Now also we have a skyQ box in a living room and 3 more mini boxes in bedrooms alongside a sky booster box and the mini boxes constantly stop talking to the main box and when they do they then decide they do want to talk to the router it’s so frustrating.. to the point where we cannot watch anything on any of the mini boxes..so yeah what I’m trying to ask is there any other options anyone could think of to move forward with? Would it be worth the money to pay for a technician to come out and hardwire everything up instead of these booster boxes? Is that even a thing? I don’t know any advice is welcomed! Thank you

There comes a point where trying to add more mesh nodes to improve coverage will just cause the mesh to break down and make your experience worse. With a house that size I'd recommend just getting everything hardwired.
