CONNECTIVITY GAP
Extreme Networks’ VP International Markets, Markus Nispel, said that gamers can have very different experiences depending on the type of broadband connectivity available in their location.
He told The Sun: “The PlayStation 5 has been a knockout success in the UK – to the point where, almost 3 months on, it is still very hard to get your hands on the console.
“But even for those lucky enough to own one, the experience can be vastly different based on their location.
“The new console has laid bare the problematic connectivity gap between rural and urban areas in the UK.
“In many locations, it is difficult to get the kind of broadband connectivity required to enjoy a seamless online gaming experience – especially for consumers that own the digital version and need to download each game individually, some of which can be up to 100GB in size.”
