Consumer Broadband Residential Customers |
Speeds dependent on distance from exchange.
Downstream speed often advertised as up to 8Mps, typically 2Mbps achieved
Upload speeds very restricted, typically 256Kbps achieved
Basic Web connectivity:
Web surfing, email
Single VoIP connection
Single line connection
No resilience in event of service or line failure

Sharedband Multiple Line Broadband Small and Medium Businesses |
Simply combine the speeds of 2, 3 or 4 broadband connections
i.e. 4 X 2Mbps = up to 8Mbps downstream
Upstream as well: 4 X 256Kbps = up to 1Mbps
Multiple VoIP and VPN connections, large file uploads and video conferencing.
Remote applications, i.e. data back up.
Scale with additional lines to meet bandwidth needs
In the event of an individual line failure the overall service is maintained, at the reduced combined level.
i.e. 4 X 2Mbps lines with one lost connection still provides up to 6Mbps

Private Leased Lines T1's and Corporate Solutions |
Performance as required
Upstream = Downstream
Greater speeds cost even more - several times the cost of consumer broadband
Specify the bandwidth to meet the application requirements.
Larger bandwidths can become very expensive
Pricing determines the service level agreement.
However one line is still a single point of failure.

Multiple VoIP and VPN connections, remote data backup, video conferencing, remote applications and large file transfers all need more bandwidth...
