I’m currently on a 5‑year fixed term with Gatehouse, ending in February next year. My rate right now is 3.75%. After the fixed term finishes, I expect the rate to increase to around 5.5%–6%.

I have 20 years remaining on the mortgage, and my monthly payments will likely rise to about £2,000 after February. I’m considering whether I should pay off the mortgage completely.

If I keep the money in an Islamic bank, I only earn around 4%, and I would still have to pay 40% tax on the profit plus zakat.

Do you have any advice?

We line in three story house, at the moment, here is my current network setup;

Ground Floor - Wireless router and Mesh 1
First Floor - Mesh 2
Second Floor - Mesh 3

I have upgraded to full fiber 300 and I will get wifi 5 router from plusnet. The installation will be done in coming weeks.

I will carry on using Mesh on each floor. I will upgrade the mesh hardware to 5 or 6 in the future. I can't use Ethernet.

I like to know If first floor (middle floor) is a best place for ONT box and wireless router so that both ground floor and second floor can good signals?

I read online saying Mesh works well when signals goes upwards from ground floor to first and second floor.

My office is on second floor and I definitely need good signals. I am on 67mbps speed and don't have any issues when using mesh.

Should ONT box and wireless router be on ground floor or middle floor?

I have been with TalkTalk for over 12 years and have not had any issues so far. I am on fiber 67. I am planning to upgrade to full fiber 500/900 and shortlisted Plusnet, EE and BT.

Plusnet comes out cheaper and then EE and then BT. EE offers wifi 7 router.

Any recommendation on which provider is good?
