FTTP or Ethernet: Which Connection Does Your Business Need?

Understand the main business-connectivity options and choose according to speed, location, resilience and operational requirements.

The right connection begins with how the business works. A small office using email and cloud applications may have different requirements from a site transferring large files, hosting services or supporting many simultaneous calls. An address-level availability check should come before choosing a product.

Need help applying this advice?

Talk to the team about your current setup and the changes you are considering.

Compare the proposed service specification, support arrangements and installation requirements. Ask what is included in the quotation and which commitments are contractual. A lower monthly price may suit one organisation, while another may place more value on dedicated capacity or clearly defined service support.

The useful comparison is between complete service proposals.
