WiFi becoming unusable

I'm estimated 14-20mbs apparently speed test shows I'm getting 22mbs so Sky sees there being no issue, which I understand, but it's getting ridiculous no more than one thing can be on the WiFi even one device using it it's slow, with my phone I just stick with 4g as it's quicker. God forbid I try and play on my Xbox whilst my sons watch Netflix. What's also annoying is most of my town including the road I live on have fibre optic just our shared old school which has been converted into apartments has been missed off, current plans is we should have it by 2027! Would a booster box be any help/how would I go about getting one as I am technically receiving what's expected but that is next to nothing. Helppp please!

I wouldn't recommend a booster box it would reduce your speed further. Wifi/ethernet powerline adapters will use existing electric wires in place of a long piece of ethernet cable if your electrics are on the same circuit
