Why do businesses need a backup Internet connection?
Backup Connectivity Solutions:

Supplementary Broadband
A supplementary connection to your existing service can be used as a backup Internet connection. This can be kept in a dormant state or actively used to carry some of your network traffic. For more information, see Full Fibre and SOGEA

Diverse Leased Lines
For organisations that require absolute continuity, it is possible to have a standby leased line connected to the premises via a different route in from the road. Options can include geographic diversity across different postcodes, towns, counties and even countries. For more information see Leased Lines.

Mobile Broadband
Mobile Broadband utilises 4G/5G networks to provide connectivity through a modem or router. Mobile Broadband provides an independent and reliable connection, enabling businesses to continue their operations during a primary internet outage. This solution is also easy to set up and offers quick deployment, however it is only recommended as a temporary stop gap during routine maintenance or line faults.
