2019 Fibre and ISP survey – Interesting results
MyBroadband’s 2019 ISP Survey has revealed that fibre is the preferred broadband connection of IT professionals and tech-savvy consumers.
The survey was completed by 2,000 MyBroadband readers, many of whom work in the ICT industry.
Fibre was by far the most popular broadband connection for home use, followed by ADSL and fixed-LTE.
