Finally, 31% say it&#8217;s too much hassle to switch provider (it&#8217;s actually now very easy), while a quarter think another provider wouldn\u2019t be any better.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s almost like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/giffgaffmobile\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">giffgaff<\/a> have got a new home broadband service to promote, which of course they do (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2025\/09\/mobile-operator-giffgaff-launch-uk-full-fibre-broadband-packages.html\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Ash Schofield, CEO of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/giffgaffmobile\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">giffgaff<\/a>, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our research shows just how frustrating and disruptive unreliable broadband has become in people\u2019s everyday lives. It\u2019s clear that many feel stuck with a service they\u2019re not happy with.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why we invited over 500 people to help shape our offering, ensuring we deliver a service that is built around what people actually want. The launch of giffgaff\u2019s full fibre broadband provides a flexible and reliable option with no fuss and no compromise.<\/p>\n<p>Ditching bad broadband and switching to giffgaff could be the answer to a lot of people\u2019s frustrations and is really simple to do.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Leaving aside the obvious vested interest above, it&#8217;s worth caveating that this survey doesn&#8217;t make much distinction between problems caused by local network connectivity (e.g. bad configuration, variable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/wifi\">WiFi<\/a> between rooms etc.) and the physical broadband connection from an ISP. Similarly, some of the issues complained about (e.g. lost shopping orders), could just as easily be the fault of a remote internet website or service.<\/p>\n<p>We should point out that not every person has the necessary skills to correctly identity and diagnose the cause of internet or network connection issues. As usual, opinion surveys like this should always be taken with a pinch of salt, especially given the relatively small sample size involved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mobile and internet provider giffgaff has today published the results of a new 3Gem survey of 2,000 UK adults (conducted during Sept 2025), which claims to have found that 53% of respondents face &#8220;broadband disruptions&#8221; at least twice a month and the average Brit spends nearly 50 hours a year troubleshooting poor internet connectivity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":39427,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[34],"class_list":["post-43336","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-statistics"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/mastodon.social\/@ispreview\/115304938306272767","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
