Financial trader working from home
Nick monitors the world's stock markets at all times of day. He needs real-time data to make swift decisions. Although he doesn't need a lot of bandwidth to do this, he does need a totally reliable internet connection with ultra-low latency. If he loses his connection or there's a delay, he'll miss the crucial moment to buy or sell at the best price.

IT manager of a secondary school
Carrie is the IT manager at a busy school. Teachers and pupils all need to use the internet to share resources, stream videos, and download stuff from the web. BTnet is perfect for Carrie because the school's internet speed won't slow down, even when several classes are online. And, because she can flex the bandwidth down in school holidays, she pays less when the school's closed.

Manages a successful online business
Saul uses his e-commerce website to sell to customers worldwide, 24 hours a day. He hosts lots of videos and images. Guaranteed, reliable upload bandwidth is critical: an internet connection less stable than a BTnet Leased Line could cause his website to slow down - or even crash - during busy times. This would lose Saul both orders and credibility, damaging future sales prospects.
