I have resubmitted my answers @Mi-Amigo given the deficiency in the original question 4. Thank you for confirming that it was intended to be 2021. 👍

Is your internet now restored to good health ? ❓  

[Mi-Amigo]

Thanks @Oxonian 

Resubmitted pm received.

Internet connection now varies during day - sometimes full/good so no problems, other times very poor and can`t get on internet. Problem is time of poor/no connection varies from day to day !!
