Exploring your business connectivity options
When starting a new company, moving offices or increasing number of staff, your business connectivity needs to be carefully considered. Most businesses will have the following services using the internet:
- VoIP Phone System
- LoB (Line of Business Applications)
- Endpoint Protection
- File Sharing & Communication (Teams, Slack, OneDrive)
- Web browsing
- Remote Monitoring & Management (IT Support tool)
Business Broadband
Leased Line
Ethernet Over FTTC
Mobile
Business Connectivity Recommendation
We would always recommend a leased line solution for a business. Being online during working hours can be crucial for a business but realistically there are restraints. Depending on your requirements, if you’re a business with <20 staff using VOIP and emails only then you could get away with EoFTTC. However, we would strongly advise against any business broadband package because of the contested and random download/upload speeds.
Mobile should really be considered as a failover when choosing on your business connectivity options. If your business package does not come with a failover provided then we would recommend a SIM only package.
There are many different types which we haven’t covered. So if you would like to learn more or discuss your business connectivity, please get in touch today.
