Not sure whether to dump this here or in PC thread.
Just got a new Three 5G router, I haven't been brainwashed yet so all good.
Speeds are better than I've ever had personally. 200mbps consistent. Tested through my phone, GF's mac and wired to the laptop.However, wirelessly on my X220, I don't even hit 1mbps. Is my laptop too old now? (chipset in a Centrino N1000) Drivers are as new as I can possibly get on here, and on a CAT5 cable, it's 200mbps+, take that out though, and pages barely load.

It shouldn't be that slow. You can replace the WiFi card on Thinkpads pretty easily - some nerd will have documented exactly which ones are compatible, then get one off eBay.

I'm not sure if you meant to reply to me but coincidentally I do have an x220.
It works fine with my Unifi AC access point and a whole variety of hotel WiFi and so on so seems surprising that it doesn't work.
Do you have anything in the pc card slot, that caused some issues with mine?

Can you test from a different wireless device?

General answer is replace it with a non-shit router. My Virgin hub was bad enough that when I went away I used a timer to power cycle it every night because it couldn't make it through a few weeks without disconnecting.
If you are going to try and get Virgin to sort it then I found this https://community.virginmedia.com/t5/custom/page/page-id/CommunityHubForums infinitely more helpful than Virgin's phone support.
