In today’s global economy, every minute and every dollar counts for small businesses. Whether you’re logging on for a videoconference with a prospect or running an e-commerce business, you’ll need fast, reliable internet to get the job done.
At DE Fastlink, we deliver the very best internet available to small and midsize businesses in our communities over our advanced fiber network. With speeds exceeding 1 gig, our fiber has all the power your business needs to keep up!
Read below for the top four reasons why Dixie Electric’s local businesses need fiber, and learn how we can help your business get ahead!
1. Keeping Consistent Contact with Customers
Customers today are accustomed to remaining in touch with their favorite brands at all hours of the day. Whether through appealing websites, well-crafted marketing emails, pithy social media and blog posts, or other forms of consumer outreach, the internet keeps the channels of communication open 24/7.
But a strong internet connection is essential. Everything from point-of-sale payments (POS transactions), to VoIP phone services, to digital marketing requires a reliable connection, and nothing is more reliable than fiber.
Utilizing glass strands that transmit data at nearly the speed of light, fiber keeps you connected to your customers better than any other form of internet. Fiber optic internet is both super strong and surprisingly flexible, so it’s less susceptible to interruptions due to bad weather.
And since every business we serve gets a dedicated line, you don’t have to worry about your connection slowing down during peak usage hours!
2. Video Conference Calling and Virtual Meetings Without Distortion or Interruption
One of the most truly special aspects of high-speed internet is its ability to let people converse face-to-face through video conferencing. Video meetings keep remote teams better connected while also making it easier to build stronger relationships with prospects and customers.
With fiber’s unmatched upload speeds, download speeds, and bandwidth capacity, you can rest assured that your video calls will be pristine and distortion-free—so you can stop worrying about your connection and start focusing on the job at hand!
3. Handling Multiple Applications and Users Simultaneously
Of course, many small businesses have staff that use a single common server to connect all their devices for all of their projects and output. Laptops, tablets, smart devices, and even cell phones have the advantage of making employees more productive—but they can also strain networks and slow down the internet for the whole business when it’s crunch time.
Fiber’s enormous bandwidth and 1 gig download speeds provide your business with the capabilities to meet the needs of multiple users and all their various tasks at one time. With our services, you can have one team member uploading large files, another on a Zoom call, and another live streaming on social media without any slowdowns or delays!
4. Staying on Top of Market Trends and Other Critical Information
What happens around the country and the world can impact our local businesses and their bottom lines. From the constantly fluctuating price of oil and other commodities, to supply chain bottlenecks, to major industry and trade innovations, up-to-the-minute information is crucial to any business’s success.
Having reliable internet for your business means you don’t need to worry about missing out on the latest market trends and other invaluable data. Fiber’s exceptionally high speeds and voluminous bandwidth let you stay on task while monitoring key market information in real-time, keeping you competitive no matter where you operate your business.
