A slow, unreliable internet connection will result in constant slowdowns and interruptions, while a fast and dependable one will turn your workplace into a well-oiled working machine. To guarantee the latter, your best bet is to invest in business broadband over standard options.
But what exactly is business broadband? What sets it apart? Well, that's what we're here to discuss today.
Town & Country have been providing businesses with expert IT solutions for over a decade, and we know a thing or two about the benefits of business broadband. Below, we'll explore what business broadband is all about, how it differs from standard broadband, and why it's the best option for your business. Let's dive in!
Business broadband is just that – a broadband package designed for businesses. They tend to be more comprehensive than standard packages, as they cater specifically to the demands of businesses and organisations.
Along with quick and reliable internet access, business broadband tariffs come with a variety of other features – these include dedicated connections, priority support, and Service Level Agreements (SLAs). All of these are designed to provide your business with the service it needs to run smoothly.
Yes. Business broadband is meant for businesses, while residential broadband is for (you guessed it) residences.
Unlike homes, where we usually have just one or two computers, businesses can have dozens or even hundreds. This is why business broadband tariffs are designed to handle much higher demand than standard ones. They also offer more functionality than residential, as residential tariffs rarely need to take advantage of the features mentioned above.
Unsurprisingly, business broadband usually comes with a higher price tag than standard options. Don't be tempted to go for the cheapest package, however – investing in a reliable connection is crucial for smooth day-to-day operations. A poor connection could lead to reduced productivity, unhappy customers, and lost revenue.
With around 38% of us now working from home at least some of the time, having a stable internet connection in our houses has become more important than ever. So, is opting for a business broadband tariff the right option for your home?
In many cases, yes!
Choosing a business broadband tariff brings all the perks of your work connection – like faster speeds and increased functionality – to the comfort of your home. You can even get a separate line installed to your workspace, so you won't have to compete with the rest of your household during busy times. And if you only need one line, you can use it as your home broadband too. It's the perfect solution for your remote working needs, whether hybrid or full time!
Although there are plenty of connection types out there, one of your best options is Fibre to the Premises (FTTP).
FTTP involves a fibre optic cable being connected directly to your premises, bypassing any cabinets along the way. This means you get an ultra-fast, ultra-dependable connection that won't let you down, even during busy hours. Even better, you won't have to share your connection with anyone else because of the 1:1 contention ratio!
If FTTP isn't right for you, you can also look at other great options like ADSL2+ and leased lines.
