It all comes in an environment where more than two-thirds of households report problems with their Wi-Fi connection in 2025, with 18% saying they had problems every day and an additional 20% saying they had problems at least weekly."
"Three-quarters of customers expected their internet providers to identify gaps in Wi-Fi coverage during installation, and the same number expected technicians to demonstrate coverage in every room before leaving. More than half said they would be open to buying additional equipment if given clear and evidence-based recommendations. Meanwhile, Wi-Fi will take on an increased role in both public and private spaces."
