Radio Broadband

What is it?

With ever-increasing file sizes, application complexity and a growing use of the Internet to trade, businesses need to be able to send data up to the Internet as quickly as they can download it.

BT Business Symmetric Broadband is a new Internet service, offering businesses all the benefits of an always-on, high speed Internet connection at 2Mbps for both uploading and downloading.

Key benefits for businesses:

Perform critical functions quickly and more efficiently
Reduce costs
Make flexible working a reality for your employees
Improve customer satisfaction by addressing customer queries immediately

Still not clear?

Using a standard ADSL connection, even with a 2Mbps service, the upload speed is limited to a maximum of 256Kbps. So, to send a 1MB file would take approximately 36 seconds. To send the same file with BT Business Symmetric Broadband, which has an upload speed that can be up to 8 times faster, it will only take approximately 5 seconds!

Who is it aimed at?

BT Business Symmetric Broadband is designed to suit small and medium sized businesses that:
Send large files or data to customers and suppliers
Host their own email, web or extranet servers
