Gigabit broadband speeds have become the norm. Once seen as a competitive differentiator, broadband services with speeds of 1Gbps or even higher are now offered by a majority of service providers across the world. According to a survey¹ earlier this year by Omdia, 60% of service providers surveyed offered 1Gbps+ speeds, compared to 45% in 2019.  

What is driving this surge? The consumer appetite for high-quality bandwidth is increasing as they indulge in hi-speed, low-latency applications and push towards creating connected homes of the future. Since the last two years, working from home, remote learning, video streaming, smart home devices have become common in an average household and the extensive use cloud gaming, AR/VR applications have pushed up monthly data usage beyond half a TB².

However, for telcos and service providers, simply providing high speeds is not enough. It is ultimately the Quality of Experience that helps a provider emerge as a market leader. Omdia clearly establishes the relationship between home QoE and broadband as they believe consumers associate in-home bottlenecks and issues with service providers’ networks and will churn for a better experience. Innovation with home solutions such as smart Wi-Fi is key to guarantee a reliable and satisfactory experience. 

At Airties we strive to do just that. We see home Wi-Fi as not just an enabler of basic connectivity and entertainment but as a facilitator of the ‘Digital Lifestyle’.
