Summer holidays bring a needed break from the hustle and bustle of school routines, but they also come with their own set of challenges. As kids come home from school and university, and parents continue to juggle WFH, the demand on your home broadband soars and tempers can easily fray.
The question arises: Can your current broadband speed cope with this increased demand? If the answer is no, it might be time to consider upgrading to Full Fibre broadband. Here’s why:
The need for speed: Why Full Fibre broadband is essential
1. Smooth work-from-home experience
Working from home has become the new normal for many. Reliable internet is non-negotiable. Slow internet speeds and buffering can lead to dropped video calls. Delayed emails, and reduced productivity can lead to lost business or an angry boss! Fibre optic broadband offers faster speeds and more reliable connections. It helps ensure your work-from-home setup runs flawlessly. No more pixelated video calls or watching the spinner waiting for files to upload, especially if you have equal upload and download speeds.
2. Keeping kids entertained and happy
When kids are home for the summer, keeping them entertained can be a full-time job. Streaming their favourite shows, movies, and online gaming are popular past-times. These activities need robust internet bandwidth. Upgrading to Full Fibre broadband means less buffering and quicker load times. Entertained kids can mean a happier and quieter home environment. No more cries of “The Internet is down” to interrupt your calls!
3. Handling multiple devices
Even when the kids aren’t home, a single household can have dozens of internet devices. Laptops, tablets, smartphones, smart TVs, and gaming consoles all demand bandwidth. Traditional broadband often struggles to keep up. This can lead to slow internet speeds and frustrating experiences. Full Fibre broadband, with its higher bandwidth capacity, can handle multiple devices with ease.
4. Future-proofing your home
Full Fibre broadband will help over summer, but it will also future-proof your home. More gadgets are released every day. Having a high-speed, reliable internet connection is becoming essential for families. Upgrading now ensures your home is ready for future tech and the gifts Santa will bring (oh yes, just six months now ☹)
