How bad is it when your Wi-Fi connection isn\u2019t great?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Well there\u2019s actually been some research commissioned on this by Amazon Devices that proves poor WiFi is a real problem in Australia.<\/span>
\n<\/span>The research revealed that 62 percent of us are dissatisfied with our internet connection and 26 percent say that poor wifi has impacted our work.<\/span><\/p>\n

But just how great is that impact?\u00a0 Well the research suggests that\u00a0<\/span>poor internet connection costs Aussie businesses 100 hours a year in lost time, per worker.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just our work that is suffering either. Almost a sixth of Australians admitted to becoming irritable and arguing with friends, family or partners due to poor Wi-Fi, whilst 31% of us have struggled to<\/span><\/p>\n

connect to streaming services to watch movies and TV shows (we\u2019ve all been in that place).<\/p>\n

Some other interesting findings from the YouGov<\/a> survey include;<\/span><\/p>\n

? One in three (32%) Australians take to using their phone’s hotspot in order to maintain their connection
\n? For almost one in ten (8%), connectivity has been so bad they\u2019ve had to go to a public venue to access free Wi-Fi
\n? Men (67%) are considerably more likely than women (58%) to say they wish they had a better internet connection in their
\nhome
\n? Men (20%) are almost twice as likely as women (11%) to say they lose between thirty and forty-five minutes each day due
\nto their failing internet connection.
\n? Men (30%) are more likely than women (23%) to say that poor internet had impacted on their work while at home.
\nResults by age:
\n? The importance of having better internet connections is most prevalent amongst younger generations, Millennials (69%)
\nmore likely to wish they had a better internet connection at homes, ahead of Gen X (59%).
\n? Millennials (31%) are more likely to say they only lose between five and fifteen minutes of connectivity when working from
\nhome each day, compared to Gen X (21%).<\/p>\n
