>>When it rains more than a shower we get poor connections, dropped broadband - a 2nd class service - certain times it is 2-3Mbs<<
Years ago I used to have problems with rain and internet speed - I always suspected a terminal box on top of the pole feeding the house as it was the only above ground point. And the problems appeared quite quickly after the rain started but lasted for sometime after cessation.
I finally discovered that if you called the line with telephone ringing (ie call but do not answer) the ringing voltage/current would breakdown the damp verdigris or corrosion that was probably in the terminal box. Internet speed restored.
Maybe worth a try.
Assuming you are not served by miles of open uninsulated wires out in the sticks. Corrosion issues are also more prevalent with old aluminium cables.
