Small businesses set to win with Fat Pipe Business offering

Since the launch of Vox Telecom's Fat Pipe at the end of 2013, thousands of customers have taken advantage of this connectivity solution. The success of Fat Pipe in the consumer segment, coupled with a need for a prioritised, unshaped data service at an affordable price, prompted the company to create a Fat Pipe offering specifically for smaller businesses.

Earlier this month, Vox Telecom was recognised as one of the top ADSL ISPs by MyBroadband readers. Respondents, which are made up of IT professionals and other tech-savvy individuals, scored the company highest in the value for money and network quality categories.

Says Shane Chorley, Executive Head of Network and Operations at Vox Telecom: "The survey reinforces the importance that network quality, value for money and reliability play for Internet users. Our Fat Pipe Business offering, which operates on our network, is intended to deliver enterprise-quality service and connectivity to small businesses across the country, and deliver on these critical considerations when selecting a connectivity partner."

Vox Telecom's Fat Pipe offering, which until now was targeted primarily at home users, provides both superior network quality and cost-effective pricing. And the development of a solution particularly for small businesses was an essential next step.

"Prioritised, unshaped data for business-critical applications that are required to complete day-to-day tasks, minus the need to wait for pages and applications to load, becomes an important productivity driver," adds Chorley.

"Connectivity is an essential component of any small business. It is important for business owners to evaluate their business needs and choose a connectivity solution that will best meet those needs, and ensure the smooth operation of their business."

Fat Pipe Business provides for data rollover, ensuring that during periods of heavy use, there is no requirement to upgrade the account, or purchase more data. It is also packaged with five static IP addresses for onsite mail servers, Web servers, firewalls, printers, and the like.
