Business Broadband ADSL Business Broadband

Telecoms regulator Ofcom is once again unhappy with broadband providers after it commissioned SamKnows to conduct research into broadband speeds.

Despite Ofcom recently introducing a voluntary code of practice whereby broadband providers are pushed to give realistic speed estimates to customers, the disparity between advertised speed and actual speed is growing.

Ofcom has actually discovered that with the national average speed of broadband growing, the difference is even worse! For example, an ADSL broadband connection is advertised at 8-10Mbps when it actually only reaches 3.3Mbps on average. I think it highly likely that soon the voluntary code of practice will be remade into a mandatory one.

Orange has reported that they are doing exceedingly well on mobile customers, not so well on fixed-line broadband customers. The Orange customer base recently rose to around 16.1 million customers, 41% of which are long-term customers, showing the stability of Orange.

Despite the fact that Orange have changed price plans and upped their broadband speeds up to 20 Mbps and despite the fact that recent research indicates broadband sales (particularly ADSL broadband) are increasing, Orange have very recently lost around 55,000 broadband customers. It’s a good thing that the mobile market is on the rise then!

ADSL Is A-OK!

Tired of unreliable broadband services, many businesses and SMEs in particular come to Elite. They come to Elite wanting everything. They say:
"We want something that's cost-effective."
"We want something that's reliable."
"We want something that’s fast."
"We want something that’s always on."
-"Can you do it?"

And Elite say…yes.

We’re seeing a huge rise in businesses turning to our ADSL Business Broadband. Don’t get left behind.

BT have recently announced that they have launched a new ‘bonded-ADSL’ service in Lincolnshire, UK, that will provide a faster broadband service to businesses which have had to put up with bad broadband speeds because they are too far from the telephone exchange. Using technology from Sharedband Ltd, the new faster broadband will allow remote working, VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) and the new service delivers a faster broadband connection by aggregating the bandwidth of up to four ADSL lines connected to a customer’s premises.
