The economy is now built on remote, hybrid and flexible working.
In fact, 58% of workers in London are in remote or hybrid roles, reflecting the city’s flexible work culture and evolving digital needs.
But flexibility comes with challenges - especially around connectivity.
Despite the shift to remote work, only about 55% of Londoners report having a completely stable broadband connection at home.
That means dropped video calls, slow cloud access, and disrupted productivity.
Not great for business...
Here are 5 practical tips to stay connected no matter where you work - at home, in a co-working space, or during hybrid weeks:
🔹 1. Upgrade your broadband
High-speed, reliable broadband helps reduce frustrations from buffering or dropped meetings - critical if your role involves frequent video calls. Sounds simple enough, but shop around for the best deal (or let us do it for you)
🔹 2. Use a quality router & Wi-Fi extender
Better hardware can improve coverage throughout your home office, especially if you’re working in a larger flat or shared space.
🔹 3. Test your connection regularly
Use tools like speed tests to check if you’re truly getting what you’re paying for.
🔹 4. Take a look at dedicated co-working spaces
London has more co-working hubs than any other UK region. These dedicated workspaces can offer fast internet, professional environments, and networking opportunities.
🔹 5. Have a mobile backup
If home or office broadband fails, it's worth having a mobile data plan or hotspot on standby, so you can stay online.
