The issues you are describing is not a problem with the ISP (probably) it’s an issue with the router that they send you and ALL of them suck.

Virgin are definitely the best for raw speed but you likely still have problems with signal in other rooms regardless of your ISP. The only real way to test if you’re happy with the speeds is via Ethernet or via WiFi in the same room.

What I’d recommend is you go for the 100 mbps virgin package and also get a distributed mesh WiFi system such as eero or google nest WiFi : Introducing Amazon eero mesh Wi-Fi system | 3-pack https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07WHMJ6XN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabc_xzj.FbZWTMH83

One of these plug into the box virgin send you and you place the rest about your flat to repeat the signal.

I can almost guarantee this will solve your broadband woes. I realise it is expensive but honestly it will be one of the best moves you make.

I am more than happy to assist with investigating this and helping you find the right products for you so give me a shout if you like. There are cheaper options they just may not be quite as good.

I did an undergrad degree in computer science and went insane in 2nd year of uni solving issues with rubbish WiFi in my 2 floor tenement flat so this is an issue that’s close to my heart 😂
