Unfortunately, the Covid 19 Pandemic has made us make the greatest shift in the way we work, with a huge increase in people now able to work if not all at least part of the week from home.
However, to be able to do so effectively and efficiently this will absolutely require a fast and reliable broadband connection.
Employees working from home are equally as productive as their office-based colleagues – and in fact most of them tend to put in more hours.
In Addition to that, the time and more substantial cost saved by not having to commute quickly becomes apparent that working from home benefits employees and employers greatly in this ever-changing economic climate.
You must have reliable and fast broadband to be able to work from home
If you need to connect to office-based or cloud-based systems and take phone calls or participate on video calls and meetings, you will need a good quality reliable broadband connection which you would take for granted if working from the office.
According to Ofcom, there are still more than a million homes in the UK where good quality or reliable broadband is simply not available so before you can take advantage of the working from home benefits you need to investigate what is available in your area.
Alternative solutions that are available
RGC can offer mobile broadband connections over 4G and 5G, depending on mobile coverage that does not rely on fixed landline (Bearing in mind that landlines are the primary reasons behind the quality and reliability of broadband).
5G-based services offer fast and reliable performance, but unfortunately its only available in a few locations.
4G based services will perform at slower speeds but its available almost everywhere and can be fast enough to cover home working needs.
