Good Wi-Fi key to platform choice and reducing churn: Report
"Providers are increasingly winning or losing customers based on the quality of the in-home Wi-Fi experience. More than 80% of US households subscribe to fixed home internet, and more than 25% report gigabit speeds. Despite this, performance perception drives satisfaction nearly as much as download speed."
"The home has become the new competitive battleground for service providers and smart home brands. Most connectivity issues originate in the physical environment, yet traditional service channels depend on verbal descriptions and remote signal telemetry. Visual AI plays a critical role in closing that visibility gap."
"Wi-Fi dead spots reduce Net Promoter Score by 17 points on average, a 27-point decline from industry norms. Only about 7% of Internet households use their ISP's app for customer support, suggesting a major opportunity to expand digital self-service capabilities."
