Unique Client Solutions has recently read a report suggesting that businesses and homeowners are
suffering from slow broadband speeds simply because they’re not maintaining
them enough.
A report by internet
provider TalkTalk has suggested that simple DIY maintenance of broadband
networks in corporate and home premises could speed up their connections. Unique Client
Solutions, who provide customer acquisitions to the broadband industry read the
report with interest particularly considering that plans for super-fast
broadband speeds are well under way.
TalkTalk’s chief
engineer Dan Downham has said that faulty wiring and poorly configured routers
are the cause of the majority of connectivity problems. He added that these
problems can be fixed by businesses or homeowners very easily. “A bit of basic
home maintenance and some re-jigging of the wiring…could speed up internet
connections no end.”
The news comes as
cities around the UK are finding out whether they have received the necessary
funding to install super-fast broadband that will allow speeds of up to 100Mb.
Unique Client Solutions were delighted when they found out that Sheffield and
the surrounding area would be one of the regions to receive the new technology
which will see some of the fastest speeds in the world as standard.
A spokesperson for
Unique Client Solutions said, “Business leaders have been raising the issue of
a need for faster broadband for some time now. There is no doubt that the
introduction of super-fast broadband around the UK is a huge step forward and
incredibly welcome, however this news from TalkTalk is something that all
businesses and homeowners should take note of. Just like a well maintained car runs well,
broadband should be looked after with the same care if you want your internet
to work well.”
The report suggested that
broadband speeds of up to 4Mb are being lost from peoples internet connections
for an estimated half a million homes in the UK due to bad internet set ups. The
spokesperson for Unique Client Solutions continued, “These are significant
figures. Most broadband providers have helpful technology teams who are on hand
to talk through any issues, if you think your speed is
significantly slower than it should be then it’s probably worth giving them a
call.”
