I love Watchdog. Some of these tradesman have no shame with the prices they were charging for repairs,

All my equipment which needs a low latency and fast connection is on wired, inc my servers, SIP phones, Apple TV, Fire TV etc. I leave the day to day stuff on wifi.

FWIW, whilst I have 802.11ac, with most devices supporting it, my older Mac laptop only has 802.11n. Over short distances and on the 5ghz band I can consistently get the full 220 speeds (day time only as I have contention issues in evening). It's worth pointing out I live in central London and can see some 20-30 wifi networks however 5ghz band is empty as it tends not to propagate through walls terribly well so for short range it's brilliant.

Oh the irony

But how else do you advertise it? Last year I was living in an area with congestion. Even then, a lot of the time I could get 200Mb(or thereabouts). I've now moved to an area where I get a constant 200Mb. It depends on the neighbours and what they get up to.

I was considering moving back to VM but checked my area on the forums and it seemed to have speed problems in the past. A simple solution to customers being "hoodwinked" would be to force ISP's to post regional issues on a centralised site. That way you can check your real world speeds before ordering and see the historic issues.

I've never had a problem with WiFi and I have a huge number of AP's around me. I'd always hardwired everything in but was pretty shocked so see how fast AC is from the next room - I get 250-350mbit and can even stream a 4k Ultra HD to my LG OLED over WiFi.

Which proves that it is the WI-FI set up.
