I think the effect you are describing is a result of the weave, not the materials the carpet is made of. You get a ton of different weaves which change the appearance or feel of a carpet.
What underlay are you using?

If you have high speed internet then fast wifi is a must if it cant be hard-wired, if you want to make use of that speed.

Honestly, nothing for me personally!
It's only because it's cheaper than what BT can offer me, saving money was No.1. The fact that it's almost 3x faster Down and 10x faster up is the bonus.
Although I don't need a wifi mesh it seems, just the router it came with gives me the wired speed on my phone on wifi on the far end of the garden. (Not a big garden.)

File downloads on laptops is a good example. Generally I think internet speed isn't that critical til either a) bate minimum for video calls e.g. if 2 or 3 people working from home, or b) downloading big chunky stuff over a few 100MB.
Pulling down a game off Steam on my TV PC can take 40 minutes due to location and WiFi signal, whereas hard wired it'd be 2 or 3 times faster.
Yeah that's kind of what I was wondering. I've never had issue device to router (unless it literally cannot reach).
And I get for big families you might need 100 Meg or more. We have 60/20 and it's fine. Generally not watching anything more than one HD stream at a time though.
2 of us work from home and it isn't an issue for calls.
Some of the virgin packages aren't any better in up speed.

I mean, downloading a game is faster but it's not like i am ever in hurry to play a game these days. I have plenty of things to keep me occupied whilst something is downloading.
Not like Webcam zoom calls are at 4k anyway.
I made a thread on it previously in home and garden, in the end I just got this stuff recommended by the carpet company. I think it's equivalent to cloud 9 but they preferred it. The carpet to me seems fitted pretty well at least.

Good to know, I especially like the wheels resistance since I do roll an office chair around. Did you fit the carpet yourself?

Sexy! What are they though?
Nah I had a local company supply /fit/install, I don't think carpet is a thing that's worth DIYing to be honest, the labour cost isn't normally crazy and it's not something you want to get wrong.

I have 1gb broadband. I want to be able to use that speed on my MBP, ipad and iphone. Computer is hard wired. More and more of my devices are using wifi as well, TV and I’d like to know I can throw a TV up outside with a 1 gang extension and have 4K content streaming easily without any buffering/delays etc
BBC had the World Cup in 4k, I’m hoping (it will come) that more and more things are just 4k as standard. PS/Xbox without having to be hardwired. It just opens up so many options having strong wifi all over the house/garden.

Ha, I actually thought this earlier today. I have planned new sockets/CAT6/aerials for downstairs and then thought "ah god for the bedroom I'll have to stick some sockets at wall mount height, how gross" and then realised with modern WiFi + streaming taking over, that's pretty much all you need worst case - just power.
I have no idea what you could need 1gb for. Unless you lived in a house share or some very niche needs.
