Have your cake and eat it: Five signs your business broadband isn’t keeping up

When you started out, your business broadband probably did a perfect job. But as your business grows, so does your need for speed, reliability, and flexibility.

Has your connectivity kept pace, or are you still settling for crumbs when you could be enjoying the whole cake?

Here are five signs your business broadband might be holding you back - and how Zen can help you get a bigger piece.

1. You’re slicing the same cake more ways

Remember when there was plenty of bandwidth to go around, and everyone got a generous helping? Thanks to a growing number of users, cloud apps, and multiple connected devices, it might now feel like your team is fighting over the last slice.

If that’s the case, it’s a sure sign that you’ve outgrown your current broadband. Slowdowns, buffering, long downloads, and lagging meetings are all reasons why you might need a bigger cake.

Zen’s secret recipe: Our leased lines provide dedicated connectivity with guaranteed speeds, so your team always gets their fair share. Or, if you’re not quite ready for a leased line, a broadband speed boost could give you the extra portion you need. Just pop in your postcode and see what’s available at your address.

2. Your recipe for success has changed

Over the last five years, the way we work has transformed. Modern businesses rely on cloud apps, hybrid working, video meetings, and daily downloads and uploads. If your current connection is starting to look like last week’s leftovers, it’s probably holding you back.

Zen’s secret recipe: We build connectivity around what businesses actually need, now and in the future. Whether that’s a faster fibre package or a scalable leased line - now available with speeds up to 10 Gbps - Zen makes sure you have all the best ingredients.

3. Your guests are left waiting for a piece

First impressions matter, especially when customers or clients visit and the WiFi doesn’t rise to the occasion. If slow downloads or choppy calls are leaving a bad taste in their mouth, you risk losing credibility.

Zen’s secret recipe: With a leased line, your business enjoys a guaranteed helping of performance and reliability. If you just need a little extra, a broadband speed boost could add all the sweetness you need. And when your connection’s sorted, setting up a guest network on your WiFi will give your visitors an experience they’re sure to remember.

4. You’re missing the cherry on top

The perfect cake has the perfect mix of ingredients. If all you’re focused on is speed, you could be missing out on top security, consistent performance, or accessible support.

Zen’s secret recipe: Our leased lines come with all the extras: robust SLAs, 24/7 UK-based support, and cast-iron guarantees. It’s the perfect final ingredient to give your cake the best flavour - with no nasty aftertaste.

5. Your cake needs to rise with your ambitions

If your business is growing, your connectivity needs to scale up too. Whether you’re opening new locations, adding more people, or planning your next big project, you don’t want your cake to run out before everyone’s had a slice.

Zen’s secret recipe: Zen leased lines are designed to grow with you - now with bearer options up to 10 Gb. No matter how ambitious your plans, there’s no need to feed on crumbs. We’ll help you keep your business moving no matter what. If you’re on one of our slower connections, a broadband speed boost might give you all the extra supplies you need.
