A recent survey indicated that approximately 30% of the population anticipates either working from home or spending time in a country setting during the summer months. However, the demands placed on internet infrastructure by remote operations are increasing significantly, meaning mere internet connectivity is no longer sufficient. Users are generating substantially more data daily for their activities.
For instance, within the Telia network alone, data usage has risen by an estimated 20–30% year-over-year. This surge in bandwidth demand is driven by the shift toward higher-resolution content. Where standard video quality (720p) once sufficed, contemporary platforms now frequently deliver content in ultra-high definitions, such as Full HD or 4K, requiring considerably greater bandwidth.
Video streaming now constitutes a dominant portion of total network traffic, accounting for an estimated 60–70%. This trend reflects a comprehensive replacement of traditional television consumption by on-demand platforms like Netflix, YouTube, and local streaming services. Furthermore, the modern digital lifestyle integrates multiple activities: users are not only streaming entertainment but are also engaging in online gaming and operating smart home devices while continuing to work remotely.
These combined factors underscore a growing need for robust and stable connectivity to support contemporary digital living.
