Many businesses today offer Internet to their employees, clients and visitors. With the fast-growing use of the Internet, poor connectivity can prove to not only be irritating but damaging to a business. Perception is everything, and one of the most common ways a consumer will judge your business is on your internet connection. Ultimately, in the online business world, you need high-quality internet connections in order to function and grow.
According to a new survey commission by Virgin Media Business, slow-internet has proven to be one of the biggest time-wasters for businesses. It revealed that 57% of SMEs believe they wouldn’t be able to function without the internet and that it is critical to their business. However, poor connections are becoming harmful to their daily operations.
One element that plays a huge part in the impact on a business’ internet is the demand put on the bandwidth. Nowadays, everyone has a handful of internet-connected devices, and in the digital world, these are all expected to work without any hiccups. That puts a serious demand on the internet bandwidth. Bandwidth bottlenecks can cause a deeply frustrating halt in productivity when important applications don’t quickly work and download vital data.
By maximising the strength and performance of your internet network, you can transform your business activities and open up opportunities for growth, as well as keep your employees happy and complaint free.
