Fibre differs from standard broadband in that fibre cables can handle much larger amounts of data. This makes it significantly faster than standard broadband and allows you to use multiple devices at once.

But what are the benefits of fibre broadband for your business, and what should you watch out for?

Fibre broadband is much faster

Fibre cables are physically able to handle much larger amounts of data at any given time and have a significantly increased bandwidth compared with traditional broadband cables. It’s called ‘superfast’ for a reason – fibre is MUCH quicker! For businesses, this is hugely beneficial to ensure you’re delivering the best and fastest possible service for your customers.

Potential for physical damage

Fibre cables are much lighter and thinner than traditional wiring, which means they are often prone to more physical damage. Whilst this can be mitigated, its important you’re aware that there might be some wear and tear!

Greater speed for multiple devices

Fibre broadband was designed to support usage across multiple devices at once, whilst maintaining fast speeds and roaming time. This could be a vital tool for businesses who require multiple members of staff to be online at any given time – it helps your team work more effectively as a whole!

Short term cost, long term gain

Whilst in the long term, fibre broadband is usually far more cost effective than traditional Wi-Fi, it can represent a more significant cost to install than you may be prepared for. It’s important to weigh up the advantages of investing in the long term!

Less power usage overall

Speaking of long term benefits, fibre broadband uses significantly less energy to run and maintain, making it more cost effective for your business and is the more environmentally conscious choice too!
