“Broadband” is an umbrella term that covers all types of internet connections: cable, satellite, DSL, and fibre optic service. Not all broadband is created equal. Nowadays, there is an array of super-fast fibre and standard broadband packages to choose from.  Speed is fibre-optic broadband’s biggest selling point. Offering speeds of up to 300Mbps even at the busiest of times and with a reliable connection of 99.99%.  However, fibre optic broadband is not cheap and is not always a viable option for many smaller businesses. Especially those who are looking to get the best from their broadband but on a budget.

With so many broadband providers out there today, it can be hard to know whether you’re getting the best service or the best price.  The most important feature, naturally, is availability. It’s no use trying to get fibre broadband if it doesn’t exist in your area. We have tools in place that allow us to find out this information for you. Simply provide us with your latest telephone bill and we will do the rest for you. We can talk to you about the different contracts we offer. Also the bundle service pricing and business usability.

1. The number of users in your organisation.
2. What are you using the internet for?

1. What are the data upload and download speed that your ISP delivers? Do other applications or services run on your data network? If so, how much of your available bandwidth do they use?
2. What’s the maximum number of concurrent calls your business could have?

• Will you need to scale speed/bandwidth up or down as demand fluctuates (e.g. to account for seasonality or peak periods)?
• Do you need a service that offers unlimited usage or downloads?
• Do your employees use mobile phones regularly, or do they connect to your network from home or remotely? Remote connections and mobile devices consume a lot of bandwidth simultaneously and you’ll need to account for that in your estimate.
• Will you be using VoIP? If so, our advice is to always run your VoIP phones where possible on a high-quality internet connection. Ensuring at least 100 Kbps upload bandwidth available for each call in progress at the same time. Most ISPs can provide at least broadband speeds over 2MB. Which is more than enough to handle several VoIP handsets. However, higher speeds may require dedicated equipment and always-on connections through ISP.
