Internet connected PC, phone, TV... fridge, washing machine?

really interesting article appeared recently highlighting the growth of connectivity in the home.

People don’t think twice now about accessing the internet from home PCs or laptops. But a whole generation is growing up with smartphones keeping them connected 24/7 and smart TVs enabling them to ignore the TV schedule in favour of catch-up and video on demand services.

At the same time people can access millions of online radio stations and stream almost limitless tracks around the house using wi-fi.

There are even apps that let you control all of this – printers, TVs and music systems – using your mobile phone. And futurologists predict other home appliances, like fridges, washing machines and sprinkler systems are set to join the growing list of internet connected devices.

The key is connectivity – and your home broadband bandwidth. That’s why our fibre rollout is so important.
