What are you challenges today ?

Location affects your ADSL broadband connection.

• Increased distance from the exchange = slower connection speed.
• Actual speeds are often slower than advertised speeds.
• At 2.5 miles from the local exchange, speeds can drop to a maximum of 4Mbps, even though the service may be advertised as up to 8Mbps.

Is your upstream speed a bottleneck?

• ADSL is an asynchronous service with very slow upstream speeds.
• Often 10 times slower than the advertised downstream speed.
• Typical upstream speeds of 256 - 512Kbps.
• Cable broadband upstream speeds can also be very restricted.

Reliability: how much does a lost connection really cost?

• Connection fails = Downtime while waiting for it to be repaired.
• 1% downtime = 90 hours / year
• With several users dependant on a single connection that results in high cost of lost productivity.

New applications and services demand more bandwidth

• VoIP (Voice over IP)
• VPNs (Virtual Private Networks)
• Remote or hosted applications
• Off-site data back up solution
• Uploading large files
• Web servers
• Video conferencing

A fast, reliable internet connection is crucial.
