When should a company upgrade to business internet

Most business today is conducted on the internet. Web mail and powerful productivity apps enable remote collaboration.

Chatbots and online support centers help companies interact with customers. Data and file storage is moving to the cloud. And mission-critical apps such as customer relationship management (CRM), enterprise resource planning (ERP), payroll and supply chain management are now Software as a Service (SaaS) platforms.

Productive employees need a fast, highly reliable business-class internet service. But how do businesses know when to upgrade from a residential plan?

Today’s rich web apps and SaaS platforms are growing more complex every day, sapping bandwidth. The last thing managers want is slow performance, hiccups and bottlenecks that prevent their employees from being productive.

A business-class internet service provides the speed and reliability employees need to stay connected to customers, partners and each other. Companies should upgrade today.

AT&T High Speed Internet for Business starts as low as $40 per month. Customers can bundle internet service with phone for extra savings.

The difference typically comes down to six factors: contention ratio, speed, security, support, SLAs and static IP addresses. Contention ratio is the number of customers sharing an access point.

Heavier traffic loads slows latency, and business services usually have a contention ratio three times lower than residential services. Business plans also include enhanced security features such as antivirus, anti-malware and anti-spam controls as well as support and SLAs that guarantee network uptime, performance and resiliency.

Many business plans also allow static IPs—a requirement for organizations that need to host infrastructure on site—such as web, app, file or email servers.
