This is purely down to the fact that service consumption has grown so much over the past few years and in turn, the demand for higher speeds has grown.

This has a knock on effect on the market. A product that was once known as out of reach for the majority of businesses in the UK has now become a lot more reachable.

We now rely on Cloud based applications, Unified Communications and such like with additional features are driving our need for more bandwidth. Times have changed.

Video is also another huge growth area with the influx of streaming becoming more popular by the day. One thing is for sure, the demand for bandwidth is not going to slow down any time soon.

This is certainly great news for all businesses in need of a 10Gb line as prices will have to meet requirements.

Whenever this amount of bandwidth was mentioned in the past, the only real usage was in data centres. As businesses now have their own internal data networks, we have seen them starting to make the move.

Ethernet circuits (dedicated internet connection) have always been the connection that any UK business looks to for reliability and this speed is no different. We are also seeing large call centres with huge amounts of hosted calling taking place making the jump.

Remember, by 2025 there will be no more ISDN, no more traditional broadband so all your calls will run over the internet and if you have a lot of staff then you will need a lot of bandwidth.

Finally, this amount of bandwidth can be taken up by anybody for any reason. If its affordable and it’s going to make a difference to your business then why not?

You can also start at lower bandwidths and work your way up as and when you need it. That way you future proof your business yet only pay for what you need.
