Finding an accommodation in which to spend a few days or a few weeks with your family or friends to rest, relax and get out of the routine is something very common on the dates in which we meet. When looking for an apartment you have to take many factors into account such as the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, or knowing whether or not pets are allowed. However, in the era of information and communication technologies that we find ourselves in, it has also become very important to know if a WiFi connection is available and its speed. Airbnb has created a tool that allows us to know the speed of the Internet connection of the place where we are going to stay.
Many people are forced to work in a place that is not their home, so it is important for them to know if they will have a quality connection that allows them to carry out their work without problems and without interruptions.
It is important to have a quality WiFi
This can happen to people who telecommute , to young people who have gone away to study, to families who go on a trip or even to people who are dedicated to creating content via streaming.
And the fact is that there are many tasks that these people can do thanks to an Internet connection: make a video call , play video games or carry out a live broadcast. To do any of these things it is important to have a stable and fast connection.
Although there have always been many accommodations in which the landlords detailed the speed of the Internet connection, the Airbnb platform offers through its application a simple tool that allows us to measure the speed of the WiFi connection of the place where we are going to stay.
Information is posted directly to the ad
Thanks to this application, the owners of the accommodation will be able to measure the speed of the connection directly with the Airbnb application and publish the speed of the WiFi connection directly in the ad.
To do this test with the application, you only have to follow four steps : first, you will have to select the option “Start test” , and then connect to our WiFi network. Then the speed test will be done to finish knowing the results and being able to add them to the ad.
In this way, the ad has a much greater appeal, since it is an incentive when renting an apartment, for example, to have a good Internet connection.
The system measures the download speed of the Internet connection. The first tests have already been done in the United States and in a few weeks it will be expanded to the entire world.
