Business Benefits

Businesses that have implemented broadband services consistently report increased sales, greater cost savings, improved productivity, and a happier workforce – all leading to a healthier bottom line.

Broadband business users are able to participate in real-time contract tenders, manage stock movement across the supply chain, utilise foreign currency exchange and trading services and receive detailed multimedia presentations using sound, video and animation. They are also able to sell, distribute and manage goods and services online using secure e-commerce tools – all this direct to the customer.

Using broadband in business helps you nurture real e-relationships and develop your business to meet the demands of the 21st century.

Major benefits of broadband for your business

• Always on
  A network of computers can share a single broadband connection. Your whole office could be online, using broadband web services for one flat monthly payment.
• No Phone Line
  Use your phone line as normal even when you are online – avoid potentially damaging engaged tones for your customers and suppliers.
• Speed
  Business downloads can be up to 40 times the speed you can get via a standard telephone connection.
• Time efficient
  UK Online for Business reported that on average each employee wastes 30 minutes per day waiting for information using a dial up connection – that’s 125 man hours per year.
