Is your listing equipped with WiFi?

[Jenny]

Hi everyone!

The internet has become almost indispensable these days. Whether it's finding the address of a good local restaurant, organising an outing, finding answers to questions or just scrolling through social networks, the internet has many uses and is a significant help for many people.

There are people who sometimes prefer to go on holiday far from the hustle and bustle of the city and "disconnect" for a weekend to enjoy some peace and quiet.

As a result, some accommodations do not necessarily need a Wi-Fi connection, and others may not even have the choice of one due to their location!

Do you offer Wi-Fi in your accommodation? Why did you make this decision?

Take care,

Jenny

@Debra300  true. I probably fall into that category! We don't watch a lot of TV, but every now and then, on a dreary weather day, we decide it's a TV day and spend the whole day on the couch bingeing on some show.  I get it.

My listing does offer high speed internet at a minimum of 170Mbps even though I have a Gigabit connection.  Having a listing in the city, its quite important to have high speed internet since its been integrated into society.  Just look at the people at the train stations or buses, everyone is viewing their phones.  Without this, your listing will most like receive a bad review unless the guest has purposely decided to go to an area without or limited WiFi.

we have wifi, and just learned that you can generate a Q-Code and display it for people to connect to your wifi, easy!!

In the age of technology, I don't think there is a possibility of not benefiting from an essential service like the internet. If you ask me, it is no different from the fixtures in the house.

@Sinem11,

I do believe that the internet is an invaluable service and tool, but it's presence can bring a lot of stress for many people. 

There are are resorts and vacation rentals on my island that expressly do not offer internet service to attract guests who want to disconnect and focus their time on relaxing and not being tied to a device and all of its trappings.

Yes, the Wifi we provide is top of the line at 300Mbit+ (internet package itself is 1.5 Gigabit Fibre) which is enough for 4k streaming, video conferencing, low latency gaming etc. 

Generally speaking, 300Mbit is at the upper end of where it starts to have real diminishing returns. My phones cap out there such as my iPhone 8 and iPhone XR. My laptop can get slightly higher speeds via wifi but not too much more.
