Surely there are unlimited data sims (O2) for lower than £35/month?!

Didn't think this was worthy of its own thread so have put it in here.
Is it possible to boost/extend the Bluetooth range of a laptop? I have a wireless headset that I use with it and it would be handy if it didn't lose connection as I wandered around the house. Not sure if it would work in the same way as wifi boosters where you have additional points around the house to extend the signal?

Yes you can get Bluetooth range extenders. Never tried them myself, but plenty on Amazon so it’ll be worth having a look and reading user reviews of them.
Bit more info here of them

Need some help RAWKitees - been doing some research but seem to have gotten myself more confused.
Went with Virgin a few months back for fibre as it was a decent price and had been having issues with BT. The Virgin Hub is utter garbage with regular dropouts and dead zones all over a relatively small 3 bed semi-detached house.
I work from home upstairs from my room and do a lot of Zoom meetings but the signal is so bad it regularly drops out. I first started looking for a range extender but I was reading that if your router is bad in the first place, that is the thing that needs changing.
So if I want to get a proper router, can I get one of the Amazon Eero or Google WiFi ones? Are they both modem+routers?
Or for faster WiFi speeds and a better range, should I go for a Netgear or TP Link one? I'm guessing it needs to be both a modem+router?
Will either of the above be enough to solve my initial problem?
