Frequently asked questions
Is business broadband faster than home broadband?
Not always. Speed depends on connection type and address. Business tariffs mainly differ in support and contract terms.
Do I need a static IP?
Only if you use VPN, host services, or run fixed-location systems. Most small offices do not need one.
Can I compare business and home options side by side?
Yes. Run a home comparison and a business comparison for the same postcode to see the differences.
