SD WAN
Agile, cost-effective and improved connectivity – get it all with SD-WAN
SD WAN - An intelligent and more flexible solution for your business...
SD-WAN (software-defined wide-area networks) uses software to control the connectivity, management and services between sites.
It’s a technique, rather than a connection and it makes wide-area networks more intelligent and more flexible.
Typically, if your business has sites in multiple locations, each will have its own network provider and, when new sites are added or moved, each change requires a new installation and a new provider.
However, with Connect365's cloud-based SD-WAN it can integrate with any current connection and disperse its network across various sites. In effect, it’s a traffic control system that ensures connectivity and bandwidth demands are met.

How is broadband speed measured?Broadband speed is measured in Megabits per Second (Mbps). Connect365 always aim to get the best broadband speeds possible.

What factors can affect broadband speed?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

Do Connect365 offer a speed guarantee?Yes, we fulfil Ofcom’s new Voluntary Codes of Practice on Business Broadband Speed (VCoP) which means you’ll be given more realistic information about business broadband speeds, which will reflect peak times. As part of signing up to the VCoP we’ll also provide an estimated minimum guaranteed download speed, allowing customers to make confident, informed decisions before a sale.
