Home-schooling and working from home is putting pressure on many families juggling children and careers during lockdown. Throw-in poor internet connection, and unreliable digital connectivity, and it s a perfect storm for families struggling to cope. A new report says it can be even worse for many living in rural areas stuck with slow broadband speeds. But a technology specialist which recently bought an IT solutions firm says there can be some simple solutions to help families. Eco Communications, which bought Integrity Office Limited at the end of 2020, says its combined team can offer advice and help. Stephen Whelan, Technical Manager for Integrity Office Ltd, which is based in Carlisle and is now part of the Eco group and specialises in supporting small and medium sized businesses with IT solutions, says it’s a similar story for the business sector.
