A recent survey has shown that 17% of UK homes still don’t have the internet. For most of us it’s pretty tough to imagine life without the internet but millions of people in Britain say they simply don’t need it. Four million houses in the UK are still not connected to the internet, according to Office of National Statistics. Most of those people living without a home internet connection – 59% – say they don’t need to be online. 20% of people said they didn’t know how to get connected and 10% said they couldn’t afford the costs. But mobile browsing continues to grow.
It’s easy to assume that everyone has the internet these days but there are some areas, even around Huddersfield, which are more remote and have either no internet at all or very slow connections. At Applegate Lettings, we remind prospective tenants that this is something they should check before moving into a property as it is not the landlords responsibility to provide things such as a TV, internet or aerials, nor is it their obligation to check that these items will work efficiently in that property.
