Business Broadband and WiFi for Harrogate Businesses

• Business Broadband. You get better support, faster fault fixing, and a static IP address as standard. Your connection gets priority during peak times, not deprioritised like consumer broadband. You've got a named contact too, not a helpline queue.
• Leased Lines. This is a dedicated fibre connection that's all yours. You get the same speed going up as going down (that's symmetrical), and a guarantee on uptime. Perfect for businesses running VoIP, cloud apps, or video calls at scale. No shared infrastructure to slow you down.
• WiFi Installation and Management. We survey your space, put in the right equipment, and set it up properly. Multiple floors, multiple sites, no problem. We separate your staff WiFi from guest networks so visitors can't access your systems.
• Network Security. A business broadband connection without proper firewalls is an open invitation. We set up firewalls, keep them updated, and monitor traffic as part of our managed IT service.
• Failover and Resilience. If your main connection goes down, a secondary line takes over automatically. This matters if you're relying on VoIP. An outage would cut all your calls otherwise.
• Connectivity Reviews. Not sure if your current broadband is up to the job, or your contract's up for renewal? We'll review it, tell you whether you're getting value, and suggest improvements. No obligation to change anything.
   

Not every business needs a leased line. Not every business can get by on standard broadband either. The right choice depends on three things: what you actually do with your connection, how many people are using it at once, and how much downtime you can stand.
 

• Standard business broadband works for most Harrogate businesses with fewer than 20 staff. If you're using cloud apps, email, and video calls, it'll do the job. It's cost-effective and available across Harrogate's business areas.
• Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) is much faster than standard fibre and it's rolling out across Harrogate now. If it's available where you are, it's usually worth paying a bit extra.
• Leased lines are for businesses where an outage would cost serious money. If you're running VoIP, shifting large files regularly, or doing cloud-heavy work where speed matters, a leased line's your answer. You get guaranteed speeds and faster fault fixing than any broadband product.
• Multi-site connectivity is a separate thing if you've got offices in different places. You can manage it all from one central point and route traffic based on what matters most to your business.
  We work with multiple ISPs and providers. We'll recommend what actually fits your situation, not just push one supplier.
   

The big PSTN switch-off in January 2027 affects broadband as well as phone systems. Old copper phone lines are going away. The newer fibre infrastructure will gradually take over. While older fibre connections (FTTC) aren't being switched off in 2027, now's the time to review your setup and make sure it'll still work properly.
If your phone system runs over your broadband (VoIP), you need reliable connectivity. It's not optional. A VoIP call uses roughly 100kbps. If 10 staff are on calls at once, you need at least 1Mbps just for voice. Then you need room for everything else on the network too.
We size your broadband and WiFi around what you actually do, including VoIP. That way you won't find out it's not enough during a busy Tuesday morning.
