Half of public has experienced broadband outages

A survey suggests that, for almost half of people, working or studying from home isn’t an option. However, one in five said they expect to work from home five days a week.

Half of people have experienced outages to their home broadband in the last 12 months, with people based in the west and north of the country most likely to have faced internet problems.

Two in five people said they’ve had broadband outages lasting as long as six hours up to three times in the last year, while just under a quarter said it had an impact on their ability to work from home.
