Unlike with Sky, you are free to use your own router with a more powerful antenna should you wish.

As above.
WiFi is not a god given right as you're paying for an internet connection to the hub. I'd recommend a powerline adapter or wire in a second hub to use as a slave (or two like i did) and that'll enhance things.
Alternatively look at buying a longer adsl cable and relocate to the hub if its not in a central point or is in a place where there is interference. Retentions((for any company for that matter) would never let you walk for free just because wifi signal/range is poor as it cannot be guaranteed with it being a radio frequency.

Ill try a new router.
Can you suggest a good one.
Still getting buffering issues via wired connection so i suspect this must be a poor broadband connection.
Customer services asked me to check connection speed via their BTW test site. i have been and find that the speed fluctuates. Ive been told that i will get a minimum of 42mb but its nothing near that speed.
