Apparel retailers provide faster high broadband connectivity
Apparel and accessories retailers provided customers with high broadband connections the fastest access time in March, says Gomez Inc.
Gomez notes that customers with a high broadband connection could visit an apparel retailer’s site in about 5.6 seconds, compared to specialty/other retailers (5.73 seconds), mass merchants (6.21 seconds) and computers and electronic retailers (6.26 seconds).
When their site is accessed by a low broadband connection, specialty/other retailers provided the fastest average access at 14.99 seconds, Gomez says. The next fastest web retailing category was apparel/accessories (15.42 seconds), followed by computers and electronics (16.35 seconds) and mass merchants (16.86 seconds).
