Ethernet

Unlike Broadband, Ethernet was designed for businesses, not the residential market.

Its key advantage lies in its use of dedicated high-capacity fibre optic lines.

The robust nature of Ethernet means that faults and dropped connections, while possible, are extremely rare. Should anything go wrong, fix times tend to be much shorter than for Broadband. Ethernet is also supported by a 24-hour support desk.

What is Ethernet?

Ethernet is a symmetrical data transfer technology, which means upstream capacity is the same as downstream. This allows outgoing email to be dispatched faster, and ftp uploading to be carried out more efficiently. Cloud-based services can be used seamlessly.

In terms of performance and technology, Ethernet is superior to Broadband, but cost can sometimes be prohibitive for smaller businesses. It is typically around ten times the amount of a basic broadband package.

Connectivity plays a pivotal role in every company.

Without it most businesses would grind to a halt, affecting performance and productivity.

Making the right decision on your connectivity is essential and we have a variety of options for you to consider according to the individual business requirements.

What do you need to consider?

Think about how much you need it, not just for your business to function but to function effectively.
Buy the best package your business can afford, but don’t make your decision based on price alone. It could cost you in the long run.
Whichever package you go for, it’s important to make sure it’s backed up by a robust Service Level Agreement, which sets out the response times if the system does go down. Downtime can seriously affect your business, so it’s vital you can get support when you need it most.
