Some businesses have concerns about how fibre could affect their operations, while others may be worried about the perceived complexities, but firms that wait could risk being at the back of the queue by 2025.<\/p>\n
To ease worries about the Switch-off, we\u2019ve fact-checked seven common myths surrounding fibre broadband so business leaders can make an informed decision about their next steps in the digital revolution.<\/p>\n
Fibre is expensive <\/strong><\/h2>\nThe most prominent myth surrounding the Switch Off is that fibre is the more expensive option. While some services may carry a higher price tag, many are reasonable when considering the upgraded service.<\/p>\n
But the reality is, the cost of not<\/em> upgrading to fibre is higher. Poor connectivity and downtime lead to business and revenue loss. Fibre\u2019s reliability and resilience ensure businesses are always ready to communicate and collaborate.<\/p>\nBusinesses may hold off switching to fibre to see if prices drop, but the risk of being at the back of a long queue as we approach the deadline isn\u2019t worth the cost.<\/p>\n
At Microtalk, we offer fibre broadband packages from just \u00a319.99 per month with 24\/7 customer support included. We have deals to suit every business size and need to ensure no one is left in the cold or the red.<\/p>\n

Openreach and the UK Government have already invested billions in the fibre roll-out to ensure the process is as seamless as possible for businesses.<\/p>\n

Fibre is only for large businesses <\/strong><\/h2>\nFast broadband speeds aren\u2019t just for big businesses. For SMEs, a strong broadband connection ensures teams remain productive and suffer less downtime from a poor connection, but if super-fast speeds don\u2019t necessary, that\u2019s ok! Businesses have the option to choose the fibre speeds that suit their needs.<\/p>\n
Fibre-connected businesses can unlock unlimited growth and can easily upgrade their speeds as they expand. Fibre broadband grows and supports businesses, no matter their size or industry.<\/p>\n
With Microtalk, SMEs can start their fibre journey with speeds of up to 40Mbps and grow to speeds of up to 900Mbps at the flick of a switch. It\u2019s fibre\u2019s flexibility that makes it ideal for small, medium, and large businesses.<\/p>\n
Businesses are tied into lengthy contracts <\/strong><\/h2>\nContact tie-ins are a part of any broadband connection \u2013 fibre or otherwise. Some internet service providers (ISPs) may attempt to draw businesses into lengthy contracts, but as with all services, the best thing to do is research, research, research.<\/p>\n
Fibre will soon be the only option available, and ISPs will naturally compete to offer the most attractive deal. To avoid being tied into a lengthy contract, compare what\u2019s available and avoid contracts that stop businesses from finding a better deal in the future.<\/p>\n
At Microtalk, we aim to be as flexible as possible with our contract options to ensure businesses can react to market demands and internal changes. Our teams consider business needs before finding the deal that works now and in the future.<\/p>\n
