Good Wi-Fi key to platform choice and reducing churn: Report

The in-home Wi-Fi experience is increasingly the deciding factor between platforms capable of delivering broadband to consumers, according to a new report published by Parks Associates and TechSee.

The report, “Seeing the Unseen: Delivering Connectivity With Confidence,” is based on a survey of 8,000 broadband households in the United States. It looks at the “direct financial and brand impact” of bad in-home connectivity. The report makes the case that self-support apps leveraging visual artificial intelligence (AI) can have a positive impact on churn risk and strengthen consumer loyalty.
