Why you should always compare business broadband providers

As a nation, we’ve become quite partial to a good ol’ price comparison. In fact, research shows that more than half of shoppers use price comparison sites to ensure they’re getting the best deal.

Unfortunately, many businesses aren’t doing the same when it comes to choosing a business broadband provider.

Why compare business broadband providers?

You may think you’ve found – or indeed, already have – a great business broadband deal, and that may well be the case. But without comparing, it may just be that – great. Not the best.

With a comprehensive and impartial comparison of all the top business broadband deals currently on the market, you can ensure you’re getting the best offer that’s perfectly suited to your current and ongoing operational requirements.

Before you get comparing, here are some top priorities to keep in mind:

• Provider: Do they have a large presence in your area? Do they have a good reputation? Check out what other businesses are saying about them.
• Type: Before signing anything, take a moment to make sure that the type of service is exactly what you’re looking for. Is it powerful and reliable enough? Would fibre or a leased line be a better option?
• Speed: Does the deal include both upload and download speeds that will suit the way you want to work? Upload speeds are especially important for video conferencing and VoIP tools.
• Contract: How long will you be tied into the contract for? If you’re looking for a short-term agreement before upgrading, it’s important to make sure you can switch when you’re ready.
• UsageDoes ‘unlimited’ really mean ‘unlimited’? Check out the usage clauses to make sure that you agree to the terms, and that you won’t be restricted when you need to connect the most.
• SLA: What’s the service level agreement? For fibre services especially, providers should be aiming for a 99.95 per cent target availability, if not 100 per cent. Can your business afford to take a risk?
• Price: Does the deal fit within your data budget, and does it provide value for money? What exactly are you getting for the price?

Got an idea of where your requirements are positioned with the above considerations?
