I did something bad to my internet drivers (trying to install/make Bluetooth work) and now have no connection.

Have tried v arious published fixes but so far no positive results.
Any help much appreciated!

Please reboot. Using the Shift key, interrupt the boot process to get to the GRUB menu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2

Select Advanced Options and scroll down to the earlier kernel version, 4.15.0-42-generic. Press Enter to boot it.

Once you are booted into -42, I suspect that your networking will now work. If so, we'll reinstall -43:

sudo apt update

sudo apt install --reinstall linux-image-4.15.0-43-generic

sudo apt install --reinstall linux-modules-4.15.0-43-generic

After all is completed, reboot and -43 should now also be working.

EDIT: In our chat, we found that the ethernet driver you installed was r8168-dkms. The driver either is not signed ar not signed properly to satisfy Secure Boot. After you disabled Secure Boot in the BIOS/EFI, the driver loaded correctly and the ethernet is working.

We also found that the wireless driver was blacklisted. We removed the blacklist, flipped the Airplane Mode switch and now the wireless is also working.
