Quick answer: what most small UK businesses should buy

  • Prefer full fibre (FTTP) where available for reliability and uploads.
  • Choose speed by staff and cloud use, not just headline Mbps.
  • Plan resilience if downtime is costly (overlap and consider a backup connection).
  • Compare total contract cost, setup fees, and price change terms, not monthly price alone.

Business terms vary by provider. Confirm VAT, support, and any SLA details during checkout.

Business broadband FAQs

What is business broadband?

Business broadband is an internet service sold on business terms, often with different support options, pricing presentation, and contract conditions compared with home tariffs.

Do business broadband contracts have a cooling off period?

Cooling off rights differ for businesses. Some providers offer a short cancellation window, but it is not guaranteed. Check the provider’s terms before you order.

Do I need a static IP?

A static IP can help with VPNs, remote access, hosted services, or fixed-location systems. Many small businesses do not need one, but it is useful for specific technical requirements.

Can I keep my landline number?

Often yes. Ask to port your number during sign up and confirm eligibility with the provider, especially if you are changing networks.

How long does installation take?

Lead times vary by network and appointment availability. FTTC is often quick to install, while full fibre or cable can require an engineer visit and longer scheduling.

Can I switch without downtime?

You can reduce downtime by choosing a go-live date that allows overlap, and keeping the old service live until the new connection works.

Do providers run credit checks?

Some business providers may carry out credit checks depending on contract type. Check the provider’s terms before ordering.

Are prices shown including VAT?

Pricing and VAT presentation varies by provider. Confirm whether prices include or exclude VAT during checkout.

What speeds do small businesses typically need?

Speed needs depend on staff count and cloud usage. Video calls and uploads benefit from higher upload speeds and stable latency, not just headline download speeds.

What is the difference between FTTP and FTTC?

FTTP (full fibre) runs fibre into the premises and is usually more consistent. FTTC uses fibre to the cabinet and copper for the last stretch, which can reduce speeds.

Is 4G or 5G suitable for business use?

4G or 5G can work for small teams or temporary sites, but performance varies by signal strength and congestion. Check indoor coverage before committing.

What should multi-site businesses do?

Check each premises by postcode. Availability and pricing can vary significantly between locations.

What if the new provider cannot manage the switch?

Some switches may require coordination with your current provider. Confirm the process and lead times during checkout.

What should I check before signing a contract?

Confirm total contract cost, setup fees, price change terms, installation lead time, and any early termination charges before you commit.
