5 Powerful Ways to Boost Productivity and Connectivity with Ultrafast Business Broadband
UK businesses are data-reliant and data-hungry. With many using a single converged network for both their data and voice communications, every organisation’s data services need to be up to scratch. Organisations are under constant pressure to stay connected and have good connectivity, whether that’s internally or to the outside world. Connecting multiple offices, locations and accounting for remote workers. And all these requirements are only set to increase, as businesses accelerate their digital transformation strategies.
When it comes to connectivity, according to the Federation of Small Businesses, a lot of businesses have yet to upgrade, with 49% of small rural businesses unsatisfied with the quality of their current internet connection. Stuart Lynn, CTO of Sage UK & Ireland says, “technology acts as a bridge to cross any physical boundary. Effective communications allow businesses to connect with customers more efficiently, helping them to grow and succeed.”
The wider issue is that Rural businesses are not the only ones getting slow internet connections. Unfortunately, even those at the heart of our busiest cities are having problems, with approximately 20% of businesses at the heart of London not having access to superfast broadband. This is worrying news, in a time where a reliable, superfast internet connection is essential to a business’s success.
A recently conducted by OnePoll found that on average, employees lose 44 minutes every week due to poor broadband speeds and connectivity. So, every year your business is potentially losing a week’s worth of work (38 hours) per employee; all because of a poor internet connection.
- 39% of employees say the internet at home is faster than at work.
- 1 in 10 workers look for other jobs during periods of IT downtime
- Slow IT costing the UK £11billion a year in lost productivity
- On average, employees lose 44 minutes every week due to poor connectivity

The growth of Fibre Ethernet
Over the last few decades, Ethernet has become the technology of choice for connecting businesses to the internet. Combined copper and fibre solutions like Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) and Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) have traditionally been popular options. But increasingly, with copper solutions less able to meet the bandwidth demands of modern businesses, organisations are coming to favour the power of a complete Fibre Ethernet set-up. In short, ethernet is everywhere.
