Fiber broadband spurs consumer AI usage

People who have a fiber broadband connection are doing more with artificial intelligence (AI) than people who don’t have a fiber connection, according to new research from Recon Analytics, which surveys 6,000 people per week about AI. Roger Entner, founder of Recon Analytics, said his research found that people who have fiber broadband typically ask 28.5 questions per AI session. But the number of questions goes down with the quality of their connection. For instance, fiber sessions are 50 percent more intensive than cable network sessions. “People on a fiber connection—because you're moving so much data at such high speeds with low latency—it's a much more rewarding experience when they're not waiting,” said Entner. “It’s much more interactive based on the network underlying it. The sessions are longer, and they're more intensive.”
