Green Box

[HanChar25]

Hi there, recently joined BT as new customer and we were told by engineer we were the last house connected to a green box over 1000metres away. He then said that there was a green box only 30metres away that we weren’t connected too but would give us much better WiFi and broadband deals but said good luck getting connected to that. Has anyone else experienced this? In an age that everybody has WiFi and now we have to work from home, I’m quite disappointed with how bad our new connection is. Today it took 15 minutes for an email to load. How can I expect me and my partner to work from home and keep in touch with family we cannot visit with it this bad and BT engineers saying we’ve not got any hope with getting better WiFi? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated
