Business Broadband
Gone are the good ole days of listening to beep grrr beep of the 56k Modem days (v92 if you were one of the lucky ones). The dawn of a new era came in the late 90's when Telewest first introduced broadband to the mass market offering a then massive 512kB service offering speeds of 15x faster than dialup, the uptake was fast from the 56k hardcore users but the uptake was slower with the lehman home user. The market remained static for a period while BT got their act together and formulated a plan to offer broadband at the same speed through copper wires requiring a filter to differentiate the streams. BT ISDN was available but was often very expensive and comparable to only 5x faster and 10x faster for dual isdn channels to 56k modems. The main uptake of broadband was starting in 1994 when home users thrown away their often un-reliable 56k modems and opted in for the faster more reliable broadband. Broadband was not just faster it was more stable.
With the roll-out of broadband services accross the UK it changed the whole face of online media, website designers used to spend a large proportion of time optimising websites for 56k modems, resulting in static websites with no user interactivity and it wasn't uncommon for images to take over 1 minute to load. Compared to todays designers who pay almost no regard to how large a page is because they know broadband will load the content quickly
Without broadband we wouldn't have websites like Facebook, Bebo or even Flash websites (well we possibly would, but the page load times would be about 2-5+ minutes)
The backend of the spectrum allowed businesses to offer reliable most cost effective broadband services swapping their more traditional sales operations to incorporate above the line (online) media.
Broadband internet access is a must for businesses and a business without an online presence is suicide.
There are several different types of business broadband available ADSL Business Broadband, SDSL Business Broadband, MPLS Business Broadband and the faster more expensive Leased Lines. Acceptable useage policy applies (AUP)
