Overview

• An Airties-commissioned study reports that about 79% of Britons experience wifi problems monthly, with roughly 1.2 million facing disruptions every day.
• ONS data indicates nearly 10 million people work hybrid and around 5 million work fully remotely, heightening dependence on reliable home connections.
• Iain Duncan Smith and Greg Stafford call for providers to improve in-home reliability, citing lost working hours and a drag on economic growth.
• Experts say extensive fibre rollouts are in place but stability inside homes now requires better wifi software, hardware and provider-managed solutions.
• While 71% of affected users contact their provider, only 24% switch, and Which? ranks Zen Internet, Plusnet and Utility Warehouse highest for reliability with Virgin Media at the bottom.
