The popular internet service provider of the UK, Pipex broadband services, recently revealed that nearly two thirds of the British small businesses still relied on a home broadband connection for their routine use that very much amounted to professional use. Pipex had held a survey participating nine hundred small business owners, 64 percent among whom disclosed that they, as their most frequent mode of getting connected to the internet, engaged a home broadband connection. Only the rest, resorted to a business broadband connection

Pipex, along with their findings also advises the errants that they should immediately think over shifting to the regulation business broadband package. The main reason put forth by the UK ISP is the high risk involved in the consumer grade connectivity. They say that, as a home connection package does not possess the same access speeds and service levels that are the hallmarks of a business broadband connection package, it could prove troublesome more often than not.

However, Pipex Broadband, one broadband provider in the UK who specialises in business broadband connections, was optimistic about the research’s finding that broadband was a significant business tool that could revolutionise the business sector. It says that broadband can even change some conventional business perspectives, such as an office deemed as the preferred working environment than home.

Quiet recently, they launched a new broadband package meticulously designed to cater for the requirements of medium and small sized businesses. The prices of the package versions start from GBP 19.50 per month, excluding VAT for the up to 16Mbps fast Pipex Pro Enhanced upstream connection.

The main attraction here is however,  could be the prospect of more consistent and faster uploading, marked by speeds that can be about six times faster than basic broadband packages that are ADSL based.

According to the marketing and product director of  Pipex Lance Spencer, the new packages would help them to offer businesses the dependability required by them from their connection to run multiple real-time application at a time. He added that many considered the critical performance factor necessary for businesses is a high download speed, which is a misconception.

He also said that the assured and enhanced upstream offered, would liberate small professional services providing businesses, such as design, technology, architecture, etc. On the cost factors of the new package, Spencer stressed that it would also be availed at a fraction of the cost of conventional BT SDSL services, which would make it an exciting proposition for businesses.

As this service is also based on ADSL 2+ technology, it allows up to 2.5Mbps upstream speeds that means companies will be enabled to carry out video conferencing and voice over internet protocol more effectively.

Other five most popular business broadband Packages offered by Pipex are; Pipex Business Premium+, Pipex Business Premium, Pipex Business Pro, Pipex Business Express and Pipex Business Lite. Besides, Pipex also offers prioritized traffic, static IP and a free wireless router to their business customers.

Pipex Internet, an extension of Tiscali offers a wide array of broadband packages for the UK SMEs. It is also a business ISP that offers high speed broadband by engaging ADSL technology. It assumes the name Pipex Business here for catering the needs of a good range of businesses, with a premium broadband offers down stream speeds of up to 16Mbps.

At present it is going steady with remarkable offers of ADSL2+ technology based packages that in their turn, particularly improved upstream data transfer performance. Last day, they have announced their intention to promote an upgraded upload speed of up to 2.5Mbps, along with advertisements of download speeds of up to 24Mbps.

For a starter package, the ISP has a connection package that boasts of speeds of up to 16Mbps that will enjoy improved uploading speeds as well. The prices starts from GBP19.50 a month, apart from VAT.

In the present times, it is a known fact that many significant businesses immensely rely on higher Broadbandspeeds, which is not the situation with residential internet use. This happens due to the colossal amounts of data that business firms often send to their clients, as well as other organisations.

Pipex Business, with its packages promoting faster uploads, ardently strives to emerge substantial in this aspect of the segment, as a speedy upload of the data, would considerably reduce time, saving significant revenue.

A couple of broadband services, which are Tiscali ADSL 2+ technology-based product infrastructure extentions, have been launched by Nildram UK ISP, the joint venture of Pipex and Tiscali. Nildram is one ISP that is famous for its helping organisations of different sizes to web-enable their operations, ranging from micro home/office to enterprises of medium size. Both the services would offer speeds of up to 24Mbps, and are business broadband services.

The Enhanced Upstream broadband package offers up to 16Mb downstream speeds and up to 2.5Mb upstream speeds. Promoted as an ideal business broadband package for small to medium sized industries, Enhanced Upstream can also perfectly blend with design companies and media firms that bank on reliable and steady bandwidth. Three additional features are included in the package, such as a webspace of 100MB, download speed of 500Kb guaranteed and unlimited data transfer.

The SDSL (M) broadband package has been launched by Nildram to challenge the leased line services and SDSL of BT. This product offers the business user the freedom to select from a platter of four symmetrical yet different download and upload speeds; 2Mb, 1.5Mb, 1Mb and 512Kb. Free enhanced care service back-up is also offered along with this package that promises to solve any service interruption within 10 hours.The interesting fact here, is that the customer would be compensated with a month’s service rental refund if the downtime exceeds the 10 hours on offer.
