Hi. Depends on what you current supply is. I have just moved in to a new house and it was at 1KW. Everything tripping all the time. I contacted Iberdrola and they increased it to 4KW. It’s up to you how much you want. It cost me 70€ to upgrade and an extra 10€ / month. Prices go up the more you increase it.
with iberdrola its €180 to test up to 5,5 kW and €200 to test for 9kW, dont know the monthly increase yet but better to test for 9kw for the extra €20 as you dont have to pay again to go from 5,5 to 9kw

Iv’e read previously that upping the power supply capacity may require requiring/upgrading of wiring inside the property, as existing wiring may not be substantial enough to cope with the new loading. I presume that in your instance Col the existing wiring was ample enough to continue using?

Was the €200 just for the test and upgrade to higher potencia, I'm assuming that if any rewiring is needed then there will be substantial costs on top of this?
yes just for the test, there was extra €25 for bigger breaker in the house up from 15 amps to 40 amps

Re Wifi
Had the same problem over a year ago
Speak to your provider they will advise you, we had to go for a booster that uses the house wiring as an transmitter / carrier. we also installed additional units around the house
TP Link base unit plus 2 additional senders wasn't cheap I think it was around 130 euros but we now receive a good signal anywhere in the house and outside
