Choosing a broadband provider
Test the customer service
Always make sure you sign-up with a broadband provider that excels at customer service.
For the the times when things go wrong it’s always worth the peace of mind to know that your business is in capable, willing and ready hands.
It’s worth paying more to make sure you’ve got the very best behind you and that you have their attention when it matters.
Consider growth
Your internet needs will grow with your business. The concurrent activities: video streaming, conferencing, instant messaging etc.
Just think: the more users, the more bandwidth required.
Be sure to scope out your future needs as well when budgeting.
Remember your phone system
As modern business phone systems are now internet powered, you’ll need to consider your broadband performance in light of your phone activity.
VOIP phone systems needed ample bandwidth to operate properly and you’ll need to ensure your broadband speed is up to scratch.
Broadband FAQs
What broadband speed does my business need?

A call centre, IT support service or digital media agency are all examples of businesses that will require the very best internet speeds.
How will my business broadband be installed?
A router is delivered to your business premises and then an engineer will follow up.
The entire process takes a day.
