Poor Wi-Fi connectivity damaging to home life, say UK consumers

A study for BT has revealed a substantial proportion of UK families feel they are being let down by poor in-home Wi-Fi networks.

More than 40% of British families say poor WiFi restricts life at home, and over 50% would be put off living in, or buying, a home with Wi-Fi blackspots, according to a new ethnographic study released by BT.

Whether it is families streaming their favourite series together on TV in the living room, or a parent getting some work done while listening to music in the attic – good connections throughout the house are now absolutely critical to family time together, and apart, in the home.
