HOME working forced two million of us to take out a second broadband line as our existing one was not up to the job.

More than 40 per cent have suffered outages or sluggish internet while trying to work.

Fifteen per cent have bought a dongle to help, while 17 per cent added a second broadband line.

Others have just come to accept bad service, with 20 per cent claiming their internet simply cannot support remote working.

Despite connection frustration, researchers from Credit Karma found 84 per cent have stayed with their current provider.

The average broadband bill comes in at £30 a month.
