1. Think about how much time you and your employees spend on the internet, how many people will be connected at one time and what you use it for because this will give us an idea on how much bandwidth you will need.
2. Make sure you get your phone line included in the package because this will help to reduce the cost of your bills.
3. When you purchase a business broadband package, make sure your provider has a strong coverage in your area. You do not want to end up with low signal constantly.
4. Be careful with the length of contract you are signing up to and check how long it is for because sometimes providers only offer their good deals to ridiculous length contract holders.
5. Again, when signing up make sure that everything such as handsets and line rental are all included in the price that you were offered and do not accept any hidden charges.
6. Look out for deals with high speeds and unlimited downloads so that when you use your broadband as a platform for your phone systems, there will be no download speed issues.
7. Make sure that like Elite, there is always somewhere for you to call if you come across any problems with the service.
8. Make use of the added features that your providers, like Elite Telecom, give to you. These can be extra mailboxes, online file storage and more.
9. When you get your broadband package, get one that allows you to connect to the network on the go so you can access your emails wherever you are away from the office.
10. Use anti-virus and firewall protection with your business broadband. Some versions such as MPLS already has it built in but there is no harm in added cover to protect your data and files.

A new survey of business broadband figures across the UK has uncovered shock results, with the news that Scunthorpe is the UK’s fastest growing internet communications hub.
The Lincolnshire town has been named top e-Town as part of a Google Adwords campaign which found that the Scunthorpe’s online commercial activity has grown by almost half this year alone.
According to Google, online business activity in Scunthorpe has grown by an incredible 47% in just 12 months, no mean feat for a town at the forefront of a nationwide economic downturn and a dying steel industry.
Representatives visited Scunthorpe to present the award to local business and public figures earlier today, sparking speculation that Google’s plans to base their new UK headquarters at the silicon roundabout in London could be re-assessed, with Scunthorpe becoming the new favourite.
Scunthorpe has been badly hit by the recession, so much so that empty shop fronts and boarded-up windows are still a common site on the high street. Many store owners, unable to meet the costs of working from physical premises opted to sell from the internet instead and many succeeded.
One clothing store manager interviewed by the Telegraph found sales had increased 5-fold since opting for business broadband facilitated trading and described it as a lifeline to many business owners in the area.

Ofcom have released the latest figures detailing nationwide uptake and usage rates of digital communications in the UK, finding that the average household downloads 17megabites, or the equivalent of streaming 11 movies per month.
The research has been compiled into a series of maps grading each county and city according to various data averages, including fixed broadband, digital radio, TV and digital terrestrial television coverage and usage rates.
Superfast broadband availability appears to feature amongst the most important results, with the Greater London authority featuring in third place with 85%, North East Lincolnshire in second with 90% and Londonderry in first with an incredible 97%.
Overall there appears to be a large-scale increase in the UK’s data transference capacity, spelling good news for UK businesses for which data traffic is becoming increasingly important.
Recent reports point towards the risk of a surge in data traffic over the next 12 months, putting businesses at risk of temporary network collapse. However, the increased availability of broadband is a double edged sword, on the one edge increasing the scope of business visibility due the creation of a larger available audience and on the other, increasing the need for businesses to quickly adapt their business broadband services for a surge in incoming online communications.

A recent report published by the Wireless Broadband Alliance has shown that the number of publicly available WiFi hotspots is to more than triple by 2015, an increase which will see hotspots increase from 1.3 to 5.8 million hotspots globally.
The findings also show that 58% of mobile operators consider WiFi to be indispensable to their operating strategies due to a rapid upsurge in demand from smartphone users and employees working remotely.
The majority of growth is anticipated to take place in two key areas – wide area and local area outdoor hot-zones – which will see increased coverage in public areas such as parks and transport areas such as train stations and airports.
This increased coverage is said to add to user experiences of telecoms operators and will provide a more reassuring presence as well as intensified brand awareness.
Making these hotspots available in public transport areas should also bolster the business mobile telecoms market, increasing the availability of business user access to unified communications solutions such as email and internal data.
This rise in the demand for remotely accessed data has also been named as a major cause for expanded coverage, with experts anticipating global mobile data traffic to increase to 16.84 million terabytes a year by 2014.
As such, the need to establish robust and secure data storage and dissemination systems within business structures is being emphasised, with the WBA recommending that precautionary measures be taken over the next 3 years.

Flexibility and adaptability within IT deployment is the most popular motive behind businesses adopting cloud communications services in the workplace, a recent survey has revealed.
The study, conducted by the Cloud Industry Forum or CIF, found that 22 percent of business claimed that agility within IT services as a result of cloud computing has helped to keep them up-to-date with recent technological advances within the marketplace, while 16 percent cited that ‘the cloud’ allowed them access to IT fixes and solutions that they would not otherwise have had access to.
14 percent claimed that cloud technology helped businesses improve customer service while 13 percent proposed that long-term adoption would be a major factor in helping to absorb telecommunications and IT annual costs.
Industry regulation appeared to be the only cause for concern, although this varies between geographic locations where certain international business laws apply.
59% of businesses want to see their data stored within the UK due to its stringent data privacy laws, with the rest of the European economic area coming in at second place. This spells good news for the UK disaster recovery industry, with 38% of business stating that security of data stored in ‘the cloud’ was their most pressing concern.
The only concern in terms of industry expansion now lies with education, with the majority of businesses admitting that they are either unaware of the implications of cloud technology or at the very least are unaware of its potential applications.

The UK Foreign Secretary William Hague warned on Tuesday the businesses could face a 'darker online future' if governments do not ensure safe and reliable business broadband access to businesses across the country.
He said government will face threats critical to infrastructure while private businesses and the public sector risk losing billions worth of sensitive industry information unless prosecutions for cybercrime become ‘the norm, rather than the exception’.
The announcement came as Hague opened the London Conference on Cyberspace, a two day event which saw government officials, industry leaders and security advisors come together to discuss the UK strategy to combat cybercrime in the future. It is the first of its kind to discuss online security measures whilst ensuring that censorship, the free-flow of information and user privacy remain a central concern.
Existing cause for concern became justified as India’s Minister of Communications Sachin Pilot revealed that the country was put at added risk during the country’s hosting of the Commonwealth Games last year. The news does not bode well for businesses preparing for next year’s Olympics.
To ensure that your business is not at risk of attack, contact Elite Telecom for live security analytics and risk assessment measures.

Telecoms provider British Telecom expects to have connected up to two-thirds of the UK to its fibre based broadband network by the end of 2014 – one year ahead of its expected completion date in 2015.
The development comes as BT released plans to employ over 520 ex-armed forces engineers in the coming year to facilitate the massive nationwide installation.
BT also announced that it would be vastly increasing the speed of its headline broadband package up to 300mb p/s by the spring of next year whilst doubling the speed of fibre-to-the-cabinet services.
This will help the UK government achieve its stated ambition of having the best super-fast broadband network in all of Europe by 2015.
Six million homes and businesses already have access to the facility and BT plans to add another 4million more in the space of a year.
Ian Livingston, BT Group chief executive said: "Our roll-out of fibre broadband is one of the fastest in the world and so it is great to be ahead of what was an already challenging schedule.
This spells good news to organisations across the UK, all of whom are likely to benefit from the revised completion date and higher job availability.
Faster business broadband is set to attract a new generation of customer volume management techniques, as more and more businesses turn to the internet to provide a platform for the majority of their sales and contact methods.
