What broadband speed is right for my business?

Choosing the right broadband speed means diving deep into your business’s unique requirements. Here are the key factors to consider:

• Small businesses may find speeds of 38-76Mbps sufficient for basic tasks like email, browsing, and cloud-based apps.
• Medium-sized businesses with multiple employees using video conferencing, file sharing, and cloud services should consider Full Fibre  options with speeds of 150-300Mbps.
• Large enterprises or data-heavy operations may require Full Fibre 900Mbps or even a leased line for guaranteed connectivity.

• Creative agencies, media firms, and tech companies often need high upload speeds for transferring large files and running collaborative tools.
• Retail and hospitality may benefit from reliable speeds, guest Wi-Fi, and digital phone lines.
• Professional services like finance or legal firms require secure, stable connections for sensitive data and remote access.

• Businesses heavily reliant on cloud platforms, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), video conferencing, or remote desktops need high speeds and low latency.
• If your team uses Microsoft 365, CRM systems, or online collaboration tools, a Full Fibre or leased line connection ensures smooth performance.
