Business broadband vs home broadband
While home broadband is designed for casual browsing, streaming, and personal use, business broadband is built for performance, reliability, and most importantly – security. Home broadband often comes bundled with TV packages and includes a dynamic IP address, which is fine for everyday use but not ideal for business operations.
In contrast, business broadband packages offer:
- High-performance routers with advanced security features.
- Static IP addresses for hosting websites, servers, and remote access.
- Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for guaranteed uptime.
- Priority traffic to ensure consistent speeds during peak hours.
- Round-the-clock technical support tailored for business needs.
These features make business broadband a more secure and reliable solution for any company, whether you're a freelancer or managing a growing team.
