Remember that time when you had to have that Zoom meeting with
your suppliers from outside your state? And four of your employees in the
Advertising team were uploading live on your social media accounts at the same
time? Aha! I can see you literally cringe at the memory of the embarrassment
your slow internet gave you. Don’t you want to know how to enjoy faster
downloads and streams, no matter how many people are using the connection?
Don’t worry, I have it right here!
Gigabit internet delivers speeds of up to one gigabyte per second (equivalent to
1000 megabytes per second!)…crazy, isn’t it? The connection between your
provider, the network and your work area is completed entirely using
fibre-optic cables with FTTP (Fibre To The Premises), rather than the usual
copper phone lines.
Why Do Businesses Need Gigabit Internet?
The obviously increased download speeds offers a lot of
advantages. Imagine internet connection that is ten times faster than the
average superfast broadband! Online streaming has never been this easy. When
streaming in 4k which uses four or five times as much bandwidth as 1080p,
issues usually arise when there are multiple users connected to the same
network. With Gigabit internet, there is plenty of spare bandwidth, and
no clogging whatsoever.
You agree that nothing is more frustrating when you say something
in that online meeting, and there’s some lag between you making the statement
and it reflecting to the other meeting participants. With gigabit internet, you don’t have to
worry about any of that. Upload speed directly matches download speed, giving
no room for lag.
Isn’t it sad that your home broadband cannot accommodate the many
rigours and requirements of working from home? All that sending of large files,
uploading of high-resolution images and videos that you could do so
effortlessly on the work WiFi; now you’re at home and it’s taking all day to
upload one video. Gigabit internet
reduces the strain on your home broadband, and other members of your home can
effortlessly connect with no qualms.
It’s now the norm to back up information to the Cloud. With
Gigabit Internet, cloud-based storage could be as quick and effortless as using
a USB stick or external hard drive.
