Incredibly slow/poor connection
Wifi out of use/not functional for two months, after finally having your engineers reboot it, the connection is way below average.

The connection to the router or to the wifi, as the two are totally different issues? If wifi then there is no such thing as an average as there are far too many variables.
Firstly, unplug the hub for 10 minutes and then reboot, hopefully a channel rescan will find a less congested wifi channel.
Have a look at the following to see if they can resolve your problem easily if no success with the above, you can also use the MySky app. If not you may need to consider either the Sky WiFi Max add-on package or perhaps purchasing a 3rd party mesh system (which remains yours regardless of ISP used and would be my own personal choice).
To check on local outages.
