I don't think anyone should be boiling water using a Virgin Media router

You would be in real hot water doing that 👌

Just don't boil any more water than you intend to use immediately is the way to go, not boiling an excessive amount and then putting it in a flask to (slowly) lose temperature.

There is no saving doing that.

How crap is your flask?

I had poor flasks like how you seem to be talking.

The flask I have right now, I boil up the water at 5am, have a brew at 11am, 1:30pm & 4pm. Water is still good enough at 4pm.

A proper brew needs boiling water.

I boil 1.3 litres of water and put it in a flask with two teabags and it lasts most of the day,
 

I hope that you remove the teabags after a few minutes as there is little worse than stewed tea ...

Btw there is already a thread on MSE re. the economics of boiling just as much as you need when you need it v more & using a flask which also takes in other forms of water heating (gas hob, microwave etc.).
