Maximising Productivity: The Benefits of Gigabit Broadband for your Business
29/09/2023
Turbo-charge your productivity with gigabit broadband for businesses
Ambitious businesses are constantly seeking ways to stay ahead of the competition. And that competition is only increasing. In today’s globalised world your competitors are no longer in your town, or necessarily even based in the UK – they could be anywhere is the world.
One powerful tool that has emerged as a game-changer for productivity is gigabit broadband, sometimes referred to as gigabit fibre broadband. Offering speeds up to 1,000 megabits per second (Mbps), gigabit broadband has transformed the way companies operate, unleashing unprecedented potential for growth and efficiency.
For many businesses a lightning-fast, reliable internet connection is no longer a luxury - it's an absolute necessity to make sure you’re operating at the highest level. Whether you need to share large files regularly between remote teams or store and manage large ecommerce data, gigabit connections will help to achieve your business goals.
So, what is gigabit broadband and how could Hey!Broadband’s Business Broadband turbo charge your business?
Lightning-fast connectivity
Gone are the days when sluggish internet connections hampered productivity. Gigabit broadband ensures businesses like yours have access to fast, reliable broadband. Hey!Broadband’s Business Broadband is up to 20x faster than traditional broadband with no buffering, dropouts or disappointments. Employees can collaborate in real-time, share large files effortlessly, and access cloud-based applications without frustrating delays.
Seamless video calls
Post covid, video conferencing has emerged as a vital tool for conducting virtual meetings, enabling face-to-face interactions with clients, partners, and team members. Gigabit broadband ensures that video calls are of the highest quality and more importantly do not drop out because of insufficient bandwidth thus minimising miscommunications and speeding up decision-making.
Enhanced cloud-based capabilities
The rise of cloud-based services has revolutionised how businesses store and access data. Gigabit broadband enables businesses to move their operations entirely into the cloud. This shift means employees can access essential resources and files from anywhere at any time, fostering remote work options and improving overall work-life balance. Whether it's customer relationship management (CRM) software, project management tools, or collaborative platforms, gigabit broadband businesses can harness the full potential of cloud-based services.
Facilitating data-intensive applications
Today's businesses rely heavily on data analysis to make informed decisions. Gigabit broadband enables companies to harness data-intensive applications, such as big data analytics and artificial intelligence, which were previously out of reach due to bandwidth limitations. The ability to process and analyse vast amounts of data in real-time allows businesses to gain valuable insights and adapt quickly to changing market conditions, improving their overall efficiency and productivity. Hey!Broadband can meet specific bandwidth requirements assuring capacity for large bandwidth users.
Future-Proofing
To ensure your business is prepared for future growth; whether in terms of workforce (network users) or workload (larger datasets, file transfer etc.) fibre broadband is ready to handle the next challenge. The added opportunity to upgrade to gigabit speeds on the same cable means that should bandwidth demand increase, fibre optic broadband is ready to meet it.
Another great benefit of fibre optic is symmetrical upload and download speeds which means that data transfer goes both ways at the same time so there is no delay if you’re downloading something whilst on an online conference call for example.
As fibre optic cables are made of glass, there is very little susceptibility to losing connection through poor weather conditions or any other interference. They also benefit from improved longevity when compared to traditional copper cables which corrode and can therefore degrade the signal strength.This makes fibre optic a stable and consistent choice for fast and reliable internet.
Competitive pricing, dedicated support and SLAs
Hey!Broadband’s gigabit broadband deals start from just £59 a month and have been designed to make lightning-fast full fibre a viable option for businesses of all sizes.
