Fibre Broadband – Have You Got It Yet?

What advantages can superfast broadband offer to your business?

A robust, reliable internet connection is important for most people these days – but none more so than business owners.

From email and data storage, through VoIP phone systems and video conferencing, to social media, customer sales and a whole host of other key business activities – running a business without an internet connection today would be challenging, if not entirely impossible.

Research has shown that take up and use of new technologies, such as fibre optic broadband, can increase revenue and reduce operating costs for businesses in most industry sectors.

What is fibre broadband?

Superfast fibre broadband uses the latest fibre optic technology, known as fibre to the cabinet (FTTC), to provide faster, more reliable internet speeds by replacing a section of the copper network with superfast fibre optic cable.

Fibre broadband can achieve download speeds of up to 80 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 20 Mbps, allowing you to do more online at the same time

With superfast broadband, business users can:

  • upload photos, video files and complex graphics to the internet in seconds

  • enjoy high quality voice and HD video calls over the internet
  • download web pages with no waiting around

  • work remotely with greater efficiency and employee satisfaction
  • integrate their voice and data networks
  • improve information sharing and customer service
  • get prepared for the future, eg rising demand for video and online content
