A recent survey conducted by Broadband Expert, has shown that nearly everyone questioned admitted that they would seek internet access whilst on holiday. A massive 94% said that they couldn’t cope without using the two main social networks, Twitter and Facebook whilst abroad, and also needed to access their e mail accounts.
There are several ways that holidaymakers can do this, under half stated that they would access the internet/facebook by using their mobile phones. The survey also revealed that many people woulod use internet cafes of which there are now many in nearly all destinations, whilst others said that they would take their lap-tops on holiday with them .
Only a handful of people said they were not interested in accessing the internet at all while on holiday.
Broadband Expert commercial director Rob Webber commented that it was getting easier and easier to access the web as phones get more sophisticated. The survey heavily proved, that even while on holiday, people cannot bear to be out of touch , and find it a real necessity to be able to access social sites and their e mails.
Most internet cafes can charge anything between 2 and Euros an hour, depending on the country and also supply and demand. People with laptops can use mobile “Dongles” or WIFI access, which sometimes is free,if the person is lucky enough to pick up on a signal!.
