I moved from one room in the house to another room when working remotely, and I experienced a similar drop in my speed due to being farther away from the Wi-Fi access point. And yes, there's not much you can't do with one that you could with the other. I made this choice voluntarily but tech geeks should visit the homes of non-tech people and see that (a) their speed is limited more by their connection to the Wi-Fi access point than by the ISP, and (b) they aren't bothered by it.
