‘Leap of a Faith’ following frustration with connections

So why do businesses decided to move to fibre?

– For some it has been a ‘Leap of Faith’ but it doesn’t need to be this way

– The inability of old internet connection to meet needs mostly drives the

decision to get fibre

– Increased speed and bandwidth are seen as the main motivational drivers

– Sometimes better speed & bandwidth is needed with specific functions in mind…

The good news is that those have made the leap are hooked…

…17 percentage point increase in satisfaction with connection!
