All I Want for Christmas is…. Faster Broadband

Image credit: The Inquirer
Ofcom, the UK's communications watchdog, have released a Wi-Fi checker application that can help broadband customers keep their Wi-Fi running at high speeds at home and in the office. The app, which works by sampling wireless signals to see if data is flowing without interruption, provides tips to help people spot what's slowing down their internet. 

The Wi-Fi can be slowed down by anything: from lamps and kitchen equipment to baby monitors, you name it and it could affect it. However it may surprise you that the number one item that's slowing down everyones Wi-Fi this Christmas is fairy lights. BUT if your router is far enough away from the electronics and up high, your Wi-Fi may remain unhindered. 

Ofcom's report suggests that the Wi-Fi in nearly six million homes and offices are not running as fast as it could be. It also said that 27% of homes in the UK have broadband connections with download speeds of at least 30Mbps, however, rural areas are still lagging behind, with only every 4 in 10 having decent connection speeds. Ofcom said:

"Ofcom has identified challenges in improving coverage across the UK. Around 8 per cent of UK homes – around 2.4 million – are currently unable to receive broadband speeds of 10 Mbit/s or above.

This jumps to around half (48 per cent, or 1.5 million) in rural areas, where speeds are often affected by premises lying further from the network’s local street cabinet or local telephone exchange."

Small businesses are also struggling to gain high-speed broadband connections. Around 130,000 SMEs are persevering on download speeds of below 10Mbit/s, according to Ofcom.

  3. Faster broadband is essential for every house there is around the world. It’s how people earn a living nowadays. I mean, if it wasn’t for online marketing, my cousin would’ve installed the fastest internet system at his crib that I enjoy the most. Like, I used his house to contact the assignment writing providers online with their expert analysis stamping my crucial college tasks. My grades came in faster just like that internet system.

  7. A heartwarming tale of beautiful boy, a diverse and loving bunch, supports him through thick and thin. His parents, strong and devoted, provide a foundation of love that empowers Noah to face the world with a brave heart. His little sister, Lily, is his confidante, and their bond is a reminder that family is a source of endless strength.

  11. Anything, from lighting and kitchen equipment to baby monitors, might slow down Wi-Fi. However, you may be surprised to learn that fairy lights are the number one item slowing down everyone's Wi-Fi this Christmas. However, if your router is far enough away from the electronics and high enough, your Wi-Fi may continue to function normally. Thank you for sharing your insight! Keep up the great work!
