Poor WIFI service
WIFI service is very poor or non-existant at times.
Have re-booted router with only limited success.
Have discovered our connection to Openreach is over half a mile away despite there being a cabinet 150 yads away at the bottom of our street.
seems crazy.

Re: Poor WIFI service
Unfortunately the topology of the legacy copper network isn't particularly logical: it was only intended to carry voice traffic (which essentially isn't distance-sensitive) rather than high frequency internet data signalling which very much is affected.
