[Nottingham] wifi extenders and slow emails

[J I]

These get a good rep from my neighbours:

Not cheap for that "premium" version but lower tiers are available. The
only downside I can see is that WiFi is most likely going to be the the
backhaul, but then that means not having to run cables through the house;
which may actually be preferable.
