Why superfast broadband is good news for VoIP users

Voice over internet protocol, or VoIP, as it is more commonly known, is quite simply a way to communicate over the internet. Rather than utilising a traditional phone line, VoIP makes calls over an IP network. Continually growing in popularity, VoIP is becoming a valuable asset to many businesses, both small and large and the reasons for this are that it is efficient and more financially viable than a telephone line.

Cheaper calls

Any business that makes a lot of calls should be taking a close look at VoIP as it can save a considerable amount on phone bills. If you make a lot of international calls, the savings can really add up with the difference to your profit margins being considerable.
In an economic climate where it’s vital to make savings wherever possible, it’s important not to ignore the potential that VoIP brings to your business. Whilst many businesses are already making savings thanks to technology such as the cloud, VoIP also brings the potential for yet more.

Need for speed

If fibre optic is available in your area and you haven’t made the change yet, maybe it’s time to start looking into the benefits for you. From downloading to file sharing, pretty much everything is made easier on the internet thanks to improved broadband speeds and VoIP is no exception.

For many businesses that make regular national and international calls it won’t be long before the return on investment has made the change a profitable one. There are many different superfast broadband packages available, some from as little as £14.50 per month. Add to this the cost of business VoIP which Sipcentic can provide from as little as £2.00 per month plus calls and you can have everything you need for a minimal cost.

Once you have your fibre optic set up and you are looking into various business VoIP packages you should consider your wants and needs before continuing. If you have a reasonable idea of how many calls you are expecting to make every month it may be a good idea to weigh up metered calling against call bundles to see which is most viable.

Other advantages

As more and more businesses start to compete online it’s more important than ever to bring down costs and become competitive in your industry. As businesses increasingly rely on the internet, more than ever, broadband speeds are playing a role in the difference between success and failure. By moving to superfast broadband and utilising the technology that is available to you, the chances are, your business will have a better chance of long term success.
