Despite what you may have been led to believe, not all broadband is created equal.
Dropped connections or slow speeds cost money. Yet a staggering 70% of SMEs in the UK are using residential class broadband services to run their business, reach out to homeworkers and connect to satellite offices.
In some sectors, that figure is closer to 80%. And that's before you take into account the increasing number of people who are performing critical tasks while homeworking.
The estimated revenue lost by not taking a business grade broadband product like ours is £89m a month, based on 8.5 million hours of staff downtime a month.
All customers get prioritised connection running at the fastest speeds their line is capable of, which can be checked in advance using our online tools.
Our Next Generation Network is also unmatched in performance and size. We can reach over 80% of business premises in the country, ideal for multi-site businesses, with the fastest speeds a line can handle: that's up to 24Mbps download speeds and up to 1Mbps upload. That gives us twice the footprint of BT's 21CN network and Cable & Wireless, with a network that's resilient, reliable and capable of carrying time sensitive data such as video and voice.
What's more, it's supremely cost effective. We can offer true business grade broadband at a price that's comparable with consumer offerings, and thanks to our unique flexibility and investment in new access technology, we can support you as you grow too.
And all this is backed up by UK based support centres and a network control team who monitor network performance around the clock, 24/7.
