VOO Buffer Rage
Data shows that over 50% of people experience ‘buffer rage’ every day. A state of uncontrollable anger induced by the interruption of online content or streaming video due to slow internet speed. 34% of respondents even suffer more from buffer rage than road rage. Indeed, when it comes to the internet, our needs (and expectations) are growing exponentially, and nowadays we all consider that a fast internet connection is perfectly normal. Well, so does VOO telecom, for whom offering ultra-fast internet has always been a priority. So, in order to bring all Belgians up to speed when it comes to their ever-increasing use of digital devices, VOO has launched an ambitious project named ‘La Vitesse Pour Tous’ ('Fast Internet for All'.) 
The kick-off of the project is a world’s first. In collaboration with a selection of media, VOO hijacked the most frustrating symbol of the slow internet connection: the infamous buffering wheel that appears when a video takes time to load.
Indeed, by adapting the code behind the loading screens of news sites and streaming services, VOO added to them a new message: ‘Load up to 2 times faster with VOO.’
So, by transforming a frustration into a solution, VOO turns the actual buffering wheel into a new advertising medium.
