Survey says only 65 percent of broadband households have Wi-Fi

Home broadband and home Wi-Fi go hand in hand, right? After all, if you’re going to have a cable, DSL or fiber connection you might as well use it to connect as many phones, PCs and other devices as possible. But the reality is a large portion of the broadband household see their internet connections stop at the end of a cable, according to a new report by Strategy Analytics. The report found that only 65 percent of the 690 million global residential fixed broadband connections terminate in a wireless router, meaning 239 million homes are still connecting their PCs and other devices to their modems through wires.
