In short. YES we did.
I love it when we have conversations like this.
Yesterday, we spoke with a customer who had been getting by with a 10Mb dedicated internet connection on a 100Mb bearer for several years. Once upon a time 10Mb and 100Mb services were the norm.
While it’s been reliable, when it was installed it was the most they could justify spending, given their distance from the nearest Exchange / Point of Presence (PoP).
During our call, we discovered there’s now a closer PoP available. Thanks to advances in technology and changes in tariffs, they could now upgrade to a 200Mbps port speed over a 1Gbps connection for 20% less than they were paying for 10Mb!
Their reaction said it all:
“Say that again… we can increase our bandwidth by 2000% and spend 20% less? WOW!”
While this may be an extreme example, it highlights the value of periodically reviewing your connectivity. You might find opportunities for better deals, faster speeds, or more resilient services.
Moving to a bigger capacity service also offers future proofing for short term or long term needs if needed.
As reliance on the internet grows and communication needs evolve, bandwidth requirements often increase.
Whether you have a single site in the city, a remote location out in the sticks, or multiple sites across the UK, talking to a connectivity partner such as HM Network can help you review your current setup and uncover new efficiencies and opportunities.
Feel free to give us a nudge to see if we can help improve your connectivity.
