Did you know that 90% of Dorset is now under Superfast Broadband coverage? Keen to promote growth opportunities at Christchurch and East Dorset Councils we encourage more people to take up this service. Superfast Broadband is becoming increasingly essential in the modern world and offers many benefits to local businesses.
Why Superfast Broadband?
- Access to Superfast Broadband means that employees will no longer have to compete for access to slow and limited conventional broadband services, increasing efficiency.
- The widespread distribution of superfast broadband services means that businesses can now offer flexible working to employees who can easily work from either home or the office with remote access to company systems.
- Superfast Broadband provides savings by increasing efficiency in online sales, marketing, ordering and invoicing. It also enhances video conferencing and VoIP services and improves access to cloud-based services.
- It enables faster communication and collaboration with other people and businesses, wherever they may be. Connecting businesses to global markets, it gives businesses the tools they need to reach and engage with new customers worldwide.
Transforming the Dorset Business Community
Representing £19 million worth of investment, the complex engineering project is changing the way people live and work across Dorset. Businesses which have adopted Superfast Broadband have already been experiencing higher turnover than their less digital counterparts. Bringing in new customers from across the globe it has the potential to boost company sales by up to 30%. Supporting the local economy, Superfast Broadband is making our area a more attractive location for new businesses and is helping to create high-tech jobs in many of our rural areas.
Contact Your Service Provider
As the project nears completion we are calling on all businesses to take up the state-of-the-art Superfast Broadband service. With just a small difference between the price of Superfast Broadband and costs of basic broadband services, now is the time to make the most of this excellent opportunity. Businesses which have yet to sign up to Superfast Broadband should contact their internet service provider to upgrade.
