With the start of a fresh new year, there’s never been a better time to review your business broadband needs. The bustling business community needs reliable connections, and with Faster Britain, UK companies have a golden opportunity to reassess whether their broadband is doing their business justice.
Is your broadband cutting it?
Did you know that the average business broadband is just 73.21Mbps? In a continually advancing world, this standard falls far below what small to medium-sized businesses need to advance. With the growth of cloud computing and the need for greater cyber security and artificial intelligence in business, companies need a broadband solution that provides robust, fast upload and download speeds to ensure these innovative systems can transfer data between data centres and devices at light speeds – only made possible with full fibre.
If you’re wondering whether it’s time to re-think your business connectivity package, here are some of the common signs it’s time to make the switch:
- Patchy connectivity: Whether it’s between multi-site businesses or even in and around your office, having patchy connectivity is a tell-tale sign that you need to rethink your broadband package. If your speeds can’t hold up between sites, or you’re getting superfast speeds in one office and a snail’s pace in another, then you should make a new broadband solution part of your New Year’s resolution.
- Drop-offs during video conferencing: While remote working has unlocked a world of opportunity, seamless video calls with high-quality pictures and sound use up bandwidth. If your bandwidth is already taken up by your colleagues’ day-to-day transfers, chances are you’ll be hearing “you’ve frozen” regularly.
- Slow adoption of bandwidth-hungry technology: If your business is struggling to adopt the revolutionary technology that separates you from the competition, it might be down to your broadband. AI alone is expected to contribute 14% to the global GDP by 2030, but language models like OpenAI need a fast connection to trawl the internet for data and feed this back to your device. Without a fast connection, your business risks being left behind the curve.
- Slow file transfer speeds: Sending large files, such as high-resolution images and video, between users and finding it’s taking too long? This is a clear sign you’re not getting the speeds you might be paying for…
- Sluggish connections at peak times: With lower bandwidths and copper connections comes congestion at peak times. Simply put, the more users on your network, the slower your speeds. With a modern, resilient, ultrafast full fibre connection, your business won’t fall victim to the 9 am rush.
