8 Great Reasons Customers Should Go Big on Bandwidth
Businesses often underplay the importance of high-speed WAN, whether for links to the global Internet or to the corporate network. The primary reason for not buying more bandwidth is simple: It’s expensive. But there’s more than one way to look at cost — what’s it worth to make remote workers significantly more productive or to wow customers and guests with fast and secure wireless access? This Report examines how the value of increased big bandwidth outstrips the increased cost and includes eight use cases to make the sale.
Takeaways for Your Business

- Selling a cloud-based productivity tool without the proper amount of bandwidth is a sure way to lose business.
