Customers worried about Wi-Fi compexity

Homeowners are hesitant of setting up wireless networks at home due to fears
over security and complexity of set-ups according to BroadbandChoices.co.uk. In a survey it revealed that 44 percent of people are
worried about dealing with the technicalities of wireless broadband and 27
percent think their bank details would be at risk.
The blame is put at the doors of ISPs as many offer wireless packages, but offer
them them in a different way to their basic packages which leaves customer
confused. This is seen in that although their ISP offered a wireless package a
quarter of those surveyed thought that they didn't.
"It would appear that ISPs are helping to create these
misconceptions that stop customers from taking advantage of the benefits
of wireless – especially during the summer months when they could be
online while topping up their tan in the garden,"
"This misconception could be down to ISPs giving the impression that
they are offering a 'wireless package' when they are just providing a
normal broadband connection with a wireless router as part of the deal," |
