Why is business broadband essential for remote workers?

We live in a digital-first world, and in recent years, the way we work has transformed. With more professionals working remotely than ever before, the need for fast, reliable, and secure internet connectivity is needed more than ever. In fact, 40% of UK workers now work remotely either full-time or part-time, with 14% working exclusively from home and 26% following a hybrid model.

Whether you're hosting video calls, sharing large files, or collaborating in real time, your business broadband connection is the backbone of your productivity. That’s why our business broadband is designed to meet the unique demands of remote workers – offering enterprise-grade performance, security, and support from anywhere.

Powering productivity with broadband speed

Speed is everything when working remotely. Our business broadband delivers ultrafast speeds that keep your workflow smooth and uninterrupted. Whether you're streaming webinars, accessing cloud-based tools, or downloading large documents, high-speed connectivity ensures you stay efficient and responsive.

Seamless data exchange with speedy upload and download times

Remote work often involves sharing large files, uploading presentations, or syncing data to cloud platforms, our business broadband offers symmetrical upload and download speeds, meaning you can send and receive data quickly – essential for teams working across different locations and time zones.

Get guaranteed performance with SLAs

Unlike residential broadband, our business broadband comes with Service Level Agreements (SLAs) that guarantee uptime. These agreements ensure that any issues are resolved swiftly, minimising downtime and keeping your business running smoothly.

Collaborate in real time

Low latency is essential for real-time applications like video conferencing, VoIP calls, and live collaboration tools. Our business broadband is engineered to deliver minimal latency, ensuring clear communication and instant responsiveness—no lag, no delays.

Protect your business

Remote work increases exposure to cyber threats. Our business broadband includes advanced security features such as firewalls, threat detection, and secure VPN support. Your data and communications are protected by enterprise-grade security protocols.

Enhanced remote access

A static IP address is a game-changer for remote workers. From hosting websites, to accessing secure servers, to utilising remote desktop applications, static IP options ensure seamless and secure connectivity to your business infrastructure.

Round-the-clock help

We’ve got dedicated UK-based support teams who understand the needs of remote workers. Whether it’s troubleshooting a connection issue or upgrading your plan, expert help is just a call away – 24/7.

Stay connected, stay productive

Our business broadband supports the tools that remote teams rely on, including Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Slack, and more. With reliable connectivity, you can collaborate effortlessly, share ideas, and drive innovation from anywhere.

Grow without limits

As your business evolves, so do your connectivity needs. Our business broadband is scalable, allowing you to upgrade bandwidth, add users, or integrate new technologies without disruption. It’s a future-proof solution for growing remote teams.

Remote work is here to stay, and the right broadband connection can make all the difference. Remote workers gain access to high-speed, secure, and reliable internet backed by expert support and enterprise-grade features with our full fibre broadband.
