Business connections differ from home internet in support, reliability and features. Here's how to choose.

Business broadband

Shared, cost-effective bandwidth with priority support and optional static IPs. Suits most small offices.

Uncontended, symmetrical bandwidth reserved for you alone, backed by an SLA. Suits hotels, hospitals and organisations where downtime is costly.

For critical operations, add a backup link on a different technology for automatic failover.
