Can broadband speeds really affect both the sale and price of a property?
Well a recent survey conducted by ISP review would certainly suggest so. Following a poll of 733 people, 68.8% said they would be put off buying their dream home if it meant they would be stuck with slow broadband.
So is there any weight to these results?
Generally when the word broadband is mentioned everyone tends to think of a traditional ADSL or cable connection, and if you are too far from the exchange the result is slower broadband speeds. If you consider broadband to be an ADSL connection then there is probably some credibility to these results.
Very little thought is given to Satellite broadband as an alternative option. With set up costs the lowest they have ever been, typically now around £300, and with speeds of up to 10Mbps.
Should we still be put off buying our dream home? Not really, Satellite is the real solution to those Not Spot blues.
Broadband is becoming more and more important, and when asked how important a staggering 73.9% claimed it was “Critically Important” and with Right Move, who get over 10 million hits on their web site each month, planning to list broadband speeds as part of the house details, can we really afford to ignore these statistics?
