It’s difficult to overstate the importance of maintaining
consistently high-speed internet connections within your organization. This is
true whether you’re providing internet connections simply for your employees,
or whether a high-speed internet connection is one of the services you offer
your clients. In both cases, slow connection speeds and low bandwidth are
recipes for disaster.
If you primarily provide bandwidth to your employees then
sluggish internet connections will massively reduce their productivity. Think
for a moment about the last time you encountered a slow internet connection
when you were trying to get a work task done. How much time did that slow
connection waste? A few seconds? A few minutes?
Keeping in mind how much of your time was wasted the last
time you personally encountered a slow internet connection, multiply that
amount by all of your employees and the number of encounters with slow
connections they might run into on any given day. Slow internet connection
speeds at work almost always amount to a vast sum of wasted time. During that
time you will be paying your employees to sit around and do nothing but wait -
not exactly a highly productive or efficient way to spend your organization’s
resources!
If your organization offers high-speed internet to your
clients then unreliable connection speeds will likely create with an even
bigger problem for your organization than just lost productivity - you’ll have
to contend with lost clients. Think about a coffee shop that hosts laptop
workers all day and consider how long they’ll stay in business if the wireless
signal they provide is slow and unreliable. Think about a hotel that provides
complimentary high-speed internet to its lodgers and consider how long that
hotel will stay in business if it can’t handle its client’s bandwidth demands.
High bandwidth, blazing fast internet is a MUST for ALL
businesses these days.
