Without a reliable broadband service, in today’s world your business will not be able to compete. The type of broadband that you choose will determine how easily you can grow and evolve your business; it can also influence the services that you offer.
Whatever the size of the business, you require a certain level of performance. The speeds the you will get depends on the type of broadband that you opt for. At ITC we can provide ADSL connections with speeds of up to 20Mb, Ethernet First Mile and 1 to 1 uncontended leased line connections, which are great for businesses that can’t be without internet.
Compared to consumer broadband, business broadband suppliers are more committed to customer care; the level of support is unrivalled, with specialist support centres and experienced engineers. Typically business broadband suppliers will provide a statement in their contract that outlines that the company will fix problems within a specified timeframe.
A major concern for businesses is security, a business broadband provider offers a more comprehensive security solution compared to consumer broadband providers, remaining continually up-to-date and automatically protects new users. Some providers will offer additional services, like website hosting and email hosting. If you are just starting out, it can be a great basis to begin building your business; this brings around the question of static vs. dynamic IP addresses.

If you are a larger business, then you may want to consider using a business broadband provider that offers a range of additional services to help you grow.
