Fibre broadband is now available to order for the majority of businesses on Newby Road Industrial Estate in Hazel Grove with neighbouring businesses being able to access it by end of 2015, reports Stockport Council.
For businesses, fibre broadband can boost your productivity and streamline the way you connect with customers and suppliers by providing:
- Faster file transfers
- Speedy uploading of complex graphics or videos
- Improved reliability
- Use of virtual private networks (VPNs)
- An ability to save costs by procuring online
A list of providers can be found at: http://www.get-digital-faster.info/broadband-providers
Businesses can also get a connection voucher of up to £3,000 for faster, better broadband. It’s a grant not a loan, so you don’t have to pay it back. You just pay VAT, anything over £3,000, and the monthly subscription. To find out more visit: www.manchester.gov.uk/superconnected
