[Herts] Best broadband in Stevenage

[David Precious]

I find wifi in general pretty poor quite often - HD streaming over wifi
in theory should work fine, in practice, not always so well.

Are there a lot of other access points near you?  If so, it could be
worth trying out 5GHz instead of 2.4GHz, if you're willing to buy a
suitable AP and potentially upgrade your wifi cards too).

Personally, I've decided my next house is going to be wired up with
gigabit Ethernet throughout (although the convenience of wifi for
phones/tablets/laptops would still be used, I guess)
