A survey has found that UK adults spent around 68 hours a month using the Internet and over 7 hours on the phone each month!
The 68 hours online equates to just short of 3 full days using the Internet each month. To show even more how important the Internet is, 59% of adults said that they would feel like they were cut off from the world if they didn’t have an Internet or phone connection. 26% felt that they would miss out on things if they didn’t have the Internet or a mobile phone and 14% said they wouldn’t know how to keep in touch with family an friends if they didn’t have their mobile or Internet access.
These statistics alone show how important broadband Internet connections are and how fast, reliable broadband connections are more and more expected by society. Going forward the importance of next generation fibre broadband grows ever more, with so much more being done via the Internet there is a greater need for faster broadband connections to deal with the latest technology.
