Poor quality broadband
My broadband hasn't performed well since I changed over. Today it's running very slow and impacting my work at home and sky tv's
i run a speed check that says 2mbs download and 12.4 upload
its weak around the house also, so the new tv boxes don't really work very well.

Re: Poor quality broadband
@Caulfs check the online service checker in the My Sky app to see if the issue is with the broadband connection which is unlikely but possible. However if that isn't the problem it is likely to be with WiFi coversgecin your home.
Poor WiFi coverage is probably the most common question we get in the forum. In many homes a single Sky hub cannot provide a usable wifi signal in every room due to the layout and type of construction of the property especially in older homes. Assuming the hub is in the best possible position which is out in the open on a surface then the only answer is additional wifi sources.
Your choice.is to either buy Sky's add-on WiFi Max bundle which can supply up to 3 extenders see https://www.sky.com/help/articles/sky-wifi-max or buy your own wifi system and use that instead of the Sky hub's WiFi.
