Weak WiFi?

We've movedto a house with a small conservatory at the back. The conservatory has very poor WiFi. Would it be covered by the BT WiFi guarantee or would it fail on a technicality? Ie it used to be an outside space?

Guess so though I don't really know the mechanics of it. From that link it looks as though I would need a new hub though (currently got a HH6).

Yes, and an upgrade to your contract.

Probably cheaper to just use a powerline WiFi hotspot.

It would be covered.

Thanks for the advice, think I'll go for the hotspot suggestion, don' t want to commit to a new contract.
