Half of remote workers suffer IT issues due to poor broadband

Not surprisingly, workers in rural areas are worse off compared to their urban counterparts, the Taxback.com survey found.

The scourge of poor broadband coverage has again reared its head with more than half of workers surveyed in a new report suggesting bad connectivity has interfered with remote working.

A survey conducted by tax refund specialists Taxback.com found that 51% of more than 2,500 people across the country said they had experienced technical issues due to poor quality broadband in their home since lockdown was first implemented back in March.
