Dedicated internet vs. broadband: what your business really needs

Understand the difference between shared and dedicated connections and when to upgrade.

· SomLink Business

Most small offices start on broadband, a connection shared with other users in the area. As a business grows and relies on cloud tools, video calls and customer-facing systems, a dedicated connection becomes worth considering.

Broadband

Cost-effective and fast for everyday use. Because capacity is shared, speeds can vary at busy times.

Dedicated internet

Bandwidth reserved for your business alone, with equal upload and download speeds and service-level commitments on availability.

When to upgrade

  • Downtime directly costs you revenue or customers.
  • You host systems or upload large files every day.
  • Your team relies on video calls and cloud applications.
