Problems we investigate
The same “internet problem” can have several different causes
From the sofa, office or TV, it can all look like one problem: the internet is not working properly. The useful question is where the problem begins.
That often points towards Wi‑Fi coverage or the way devices are connecting rather than the broadband line itself.
We look at where the device is, how it connects and whether the issue is local to one part of the network.
A fast broadband package does not guarantee a reliable connection between your router and the television.
Calls and work connections are sensitive to interruptions, latency and packet loss, not just headline download speed.
Distance, walls and the route between buildings can expose limitations that are not obvious beside the router.
Broadband, router or Wi‑Fi?
We separate the connection coming in from the network carrying it around your home
That distinction matters. Replacing Wi‑Fi equipment will not fix an unreliable broadband service, while upgrading your broadband package will not fix a weak signal in an upstairs office.
1. Broadband baselineWe establish what the incoming connection can deliver, using a wired test where practical.
2. Router and local networkWe look at the existing setup, equipment position, configuration and how the home network is connected.
3. Wi‑Fi around the propertyWe measure real-world performance in the rooms and areas where you actually use the internet.
4. Stability where relevantWe consider latency, packet loss and inconsistent behaviour where the symptoms call for it.
5. Existing cablingWe check whether wired connections already exist or would provide a more reliable route for key devices or Wi‑Fi equipment.
6. The evidence togetherWe explain which part appears to be limiting the experience and what the sensible next step is.
A simple first step
Tell me what’s happening
You don’t need to choose a service or diagnose the problem. We’ll start with a free conversation, discuss the options and agree the best next step together.
You stay in control. Any home visit is arranged with its purpose and any charge made clear beforehand. Paid investigation is agreed in advance; installation and improvement work is quoted before you decide.
A useful first clue
Does the problem follow the connection, the room or the device?
These are not hard rules, but they are useful clues when we start narrowing down what is happening.
More likely to involve broadband or the router
- Several devices lose internet access at the same time.
- Problems occur even close to the router.
- A wired device is also affected.
- The connection fails at particular times regardless of room.
More likely to involve Wi‑Fi or the home network
- Problems are concentrated in particular rooms or floors.
- Performance improves noticeably close to the router.
- Wired devices are fine while wireless devices struggle.
- Extensions, solid walls or an outbuilding are the troublesome areas.
Already confident the broadband itself is fine? Our Wi‑Fi problems page covers dead zones, weak coverage, dropouts and poor performance around the home in more detail.
