[Help] Boss is threating in-office work because the VPN strangles my ability to complete projects

I spend most of my days accessing the company drive via a VPN connection, but the connection is so slow that I can only access the drive 50% of the time (and even then, it's shaky). The few times I've mentioned this, my boss has acted like 'Well, it's not happening to me, so you're just overblowing the issue.' It's beyond frustrating. I've spoken to IT, who hasn't been much help either (gave me me different laptop, and blamed my router). Now that I'm very late on a project (a month overdue, but no deadline posted) my boss is threatening to have me come in and work in the office. Any advice on how I can politely deflect that?
