Office Broadband backup for 30 users

Options
Hi,

Internet is now very important to our office and when we loose broadband it kills our business

Anyone have any ideas if we can use 3G in emergencies to get our office back up and running. We have 30 staff.

I have installed a ADSL and LLU line and can swap people quickly between the two lines. We dont have cable in our area.

Anything else I can do?

Regards

Barry

    If it is very important to your business, you should have business broadband with enhanced support included e.g.
    • Advanced level of service for business critical operations
    • 1 working hour fault response time
    • 20 working hour fault resolution time
    • Support team available 8am - 8pm weekdays
    • One month minimum contract
    • Fast provisioning

    Check out DrayTek ADSL modems.
    They have a range of ADSL modems that you can plug in a 3G usb dongle for a backup connection.

    Also some of them offer a way to "load Balance" your connection over 2 ADSL lines (or use one as a backup if the line goes down!)
