52% of Internet users spend 5 hours online at home daily, survey finds

Conducted on 500 people aged between 18 and 45, the survey learned that more than half of the respondents logged on at home to check their e-mails as well as to share and upload photos and video clips via social media platforms such as Facebook, LINE and Instagram. 
About 40 per cent said they enjoyed watching YouTube and live-streamed content on Wi-Fi at home, while only 10 per cent said they used their home Internet for e-learning. 
These findings are in line with the Electronic Transactions Development Agency (ETDA)’s 2016 survey on Internet users’ behaviour, which shows that the three most popular activities among mobile Net users are chatting via social media, watching YouTube and reading e-books respectively. 
The above figures reflect a demand for reliable and powerful Wi-Fi routers that will connect to several devices at home. While the performance of such equipment is affected by Internet speed, 45 per cent of the respondents said their home Internet speed ranges between 10 and 15Mbps, 35 per cent enjoy a speed over 20Mbps, while 20 per cent have a speed of 15 to 20Mbps at home. 
As for the number of connected devices, 35 per cent said there are more than 10 devices at home that need Internet access, mainly smart phones, tablets, computers, smart watches, smart TVs, Wi-Fi printers, game consoles, IP cameras and door locks. This number is expected to increase in the near future, though only 11 per cent said they only had one or two connected devices at home.
