Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between business and residential broadband?
Business broadband typically includes features like static IPs, enhanced support, SLAs, and better upload speeds. It's designed for reliability and professional use.
Do I need a static IP?
Static IPs are essential if you're hosting servers, using VPNs, or need consistent remote access to your network. They're also useful for email servers and some business applications.
What speed do I need for my business?
It depends on your business size and usage. Small offices might be fine with 100Mbps, while larger businesses or those with heavy cloud usage should consider 1Gbps or faster.
