The demand for connectivity is not slowing down. From the Internet of Things to collaboration tools, it’s clear that businesses will need to invest more and more in bandwidth to meet growing user needs.

Bandwidth is becoming an increasingly vital
business resource. From both the enterprise
perspective and that of the individual employee,
bandwidth availability is fundamental to basic
daily business operations and has a direct impact
on overall productivity. Following are a few key
reasons why businesses will continue to make heavy
investments in reliable bandwidth.
Everything Is Connected
Employees require access to every available
business resource, from anywhere in the world, on
any device. The connection points required in order
to support this demand continue to grow daily,
along with the demand for bandwidth to support
this connectivity. And, thanks to the Internet of
Things, the number of devices producing network
traffic will only continue to increase.
Speed Is Not Optional
The standards for speed continue to rise, and
there are three different major transactions to
consider in terms of bandwidth needs: application

speed. Employees are well aware that high-speed
Internet solutions are available (such as Spectrum’s
Internet options, which offer speeds of up to 10
Gbps) and they do not hesitate to place pressure
on IT departments and stakeholders to leverage the
fastest option.

that consume significantly more bandwidth
than average, the typical bandwidth needed for
an employee to perform daily functions only

communication, training and marketing initiatives.
Employees are successfully collaborating with video
and voice tools that didn’t exist at today’s levels
of convenience and usability until a few years ago.
The average user needs more bandwidth than ever
before, and employee productivity depends on
having an adequate amount of it.
Businesses already have high demands for
bandwidth, and phenomena such as the ever-
