Hey all
At work we are on an ADSL 8mb (some random ISP) connection, which I presume on the exchange is shared with the other offices where we are based (converted farm land / buildings). Also we are right out in the sticks, in this farm off a one road village.
Anyways I suspect that 8mb is being shared between the whole village too, as I can rarely get above 100kbs, and editing files over ftp (Zend live ftp editing for the win
) is a nightmare.
Oh yeah, should say I am a web dev, so the net is pretty important
Right, so I am going to goto my boss and suggest we get a business line, as my web team is expanding, and the problem is only going to get worse. The problem is I know nothing of business connections, and google only comes up with business adsl packages, I thought I would come and ask my friendly local OCUK forum
Doesnt really need to be massively fast, I have 20mb at home which will be more than enough for what we are after. Just want it stable, availability in rural areas, and with an upload that doesnt suck.
Also no real idea on prices. As I say this is for work, so the boss would probably be willing to splash out a little, but nothing too crazy lol. He is a Mac user / Designer so doesnt appreciate the finer points of having a fat pipe
