Demand for internet gets big boost in Patna

PATNA: With thousands of employees, especially from the IT sector, logging into the work from home (WFH) mode, ever since the nationwide lockdown was imposed on March 24, telecom players and internet service providers are witnessing a major spike in demand for home broadband connections and internet dongles in the city

“My clientèle has increased manifold since April. They not only request for installation of broadband services but also want high bandwith. Our central server is capable of hosting a large number of connections. The only problem is shortage of manpower for installing devices at the location of the clients,” said an ISP Neeraj Singh, based in Haroon Nagar locality.
