Full fibre
I've been told by openreach that full fibre is now in my area. My WiFi can be a hit or a miss, especially if streaming. Will upgrading to full fibre improve my WiFi as I'm only using it in my living room, and family have left home so just me 🤷♀️.

Essentially no, because all legal WiFi equipment has a regulated maximum power output no matter what broadband speed is arriving at the property.
BT Halo 3+ Ultrafast FTTP (500Mbs), BT Smart Hub 2

Re: Full fibre
@mairiw Wi-Fi is considered to be the wireless signal that bounces around the home, and Broadband is the Internet link down your cable and away to the OR exchange, so you need to say what you think is the problem. New FF Full Fibre will be less troublesome than the old copper cable, but it is NOT 100% kills all and gives you great everything if your wireless wi-fi is poor.
But if you have it all in the one place Hub, phone, TV etc you should consider, just NO guarantees that you don't hit snag's!
