Connectivity

Upload speed is the rate that information is sent over your broadband line. For example, the time it takes to send high resolution images from your computer to another is determined by the upload speed available.

From time to time you may experience slow broadband speeds. This can be caused by a number of internal and external factors:

• The length of the line from the exchange or from the Primary Connection Point (PCP) can cause some speeds to be slower than others
• Not being connected directly to the master socket on the premises
• Correct filters needing to be used on all sockets relating to the broadband line
• A fault on the broadband line
• A faulty router is being used
• Connecting via WiFi rather than Ethernet
• Number of people sharing the bandwidth internally
• One-off, high-usage events such as Microsoft/Apple updates – a large number of people connecting at one time
• Electrical interference from other devices in proximity to the connection
• Peak time congestion – may experience slower speeds during the evening when more people are connected
• The processing speed of your device, router or modem
• The quality of the wiring inside your premises
• Weather conditions

Before software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) came along, there was Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), a protocol for efficient network traffic flow between two or more locations.

Wide area networks are a critical component of today’s business infrastructure, but their erratic performance frustrates users, especially for low-latency applications like VoIP calling, video conferencing, video streaming, and virtualised applications and desktops. WAN capacity can also be expensive and difficult to expand, manage and troubleshoot.

SD-WAN products address these problems. As a replacement for traditional technologies, such as MPLS and VPN, it applies software-defined networking (SDN) concepts to WAN connections. Unlike traditional WANs, SD-WAN delivers increased network agility and cost reduction by directing traffic from network hardware to individual applications. This improves app performance as well as quality user experiences over geographically dispersed locations such as branch offices, corporate data centres, and on cloud platforms. Find out more
