Remember the days when every time you had to connect to the internet you heard the dialing of the modem and that hiss and pop sound while you crossed your fingers that you would actually connect? Those days are long gone. Although some people still have dial up internet connections at home, they are completely out the door for business. If you have a business, you really must have business broadband internet if you want to keep your company afloat. Anything else, and your company risks becoming as outdated as dial up connections themselves.
But why do you need to pay for business broadband internet? After all, it can be significantly more expensive than dial up, and you’re already fighting hard to keep costs down. Well, the main reason you have to have is that your customers will have it. You need to be able to share documents and attachments easily with your customers and clients - you can’t afford to spend 30 minutes waiting for a 1 mg file to download - especially since your customers will assume they can send you much larger docs without a problem. Explaining to your customers and clients that you have dial up and can’t receive their emails just sounds unprofessional. You might as well call them up and say you don’t have a telephone and could they communicate with you via passenger pigeon instead. Skimp on your business broadband internet connection, and you’ll risk telling your customers and clients that you’re not really up to the job.
Another reason you need business broadband is because you need to manage your company’s online presence. If you’re building a website with dial up, then your website will look as outdated as your internet connection. Most website designers assume that people have broadband or digital connections and design with those speeds in mind. If your site has to load at an acceptable speed to you, then it will constantly look unfinished to savvy web users.
So, where can you get business broadband? That depends a lot on where you live. One of the first stops for you should be your local cable company. Most companies have business packages that provide you with broadband internet capacity at a bargain price, rather than having to pay individually for a connection for each work station. You can also do some research online and find out about other internet service providers in your area. In some places, there are internet service providers that deal exclusively with business customers, so they can offer even better pricing than going for business broadband internet accounts with the more traditional companies.
With business broadband, keep in mind that there are many different ways you can increase and decrease the price, based on what speed you choose and how many connection points you need. One thing you shouldn’t skimp on, however, is access to technical support. Most business accounts come with preferential access to tech support and customer service - a must to keep your business running.
