Internet Down Again? A Backup ISP Will Keep Your Business Running

In today’s digital environment, staying connected is essential for daily operations.

T-Mobile shared some exciting news about their Starlink Beta, which shows how much we depend on our internet connections! It shows how important staying connected is in our everyday lives. In today's fast-paced world, businesses weave their daily operations seamlessly into the fabric of the Internet, which is at our fingertips on smartphones, computers, and even smart TVs.

With high-speed internet now a staple, just a few hours of downtime can send ripples of unease through any organization. While many enjoy the benefits of a reliable connection, those in rural areas or regions susceptible to severe weather often find their internet experience more like a rollercoaster ride—full of unpredictable difficulties.

Safeguarding your small business does not have to be a daunting task, especially when you have the right partner by your side. At Tech61, we are thrilled to offer an affordable and reliable way to keep your operations running smoothly, even during unexpected outages.

Key Reasons To Have A 5G ISP Backup

Minimize Downtime.

When your main internet connection fails, a backup ISP allows your business to automatically switch to the secondary connection, reducing disruptions to operations and productivity.

Business Continuity.

A backup connection is essential for a business continuity plan, ensuring critical operations can continue during disruptions.

Data Security.

Maintaining connectivity during an outage is crucial for data backup and security measures. When your backups are not functioning, it can cause significant issues.

Peace of mind for your business

Small businesses are facing a staggering challenge, projected to lose over $40 billion each year due to internet outages, as revealed by a recent study from Independence Research. What is particularly alarming is that the smallest businesses, often the backbone of our communities, will endure most of this financial strain, with expected losses hitting $22 billion in productivity alone. This translates to an average of more than $4,500 per small business annually.

However, the impact will not stop, there are also significant reputational risks at play. Customers may interpret these interruptions as a sign of mismanagement, leading to lost trust and potential profits plummeting for these business owners. In today’s digital landscape, staying connected is not just a convenience; it feels like a lifeline for small businesses striving for success.

Internet Service Providers (ISPs) work hard to keep their lines in excellent condition, but outages can still happen. Many providers offer tools, such as outage maps, to help you monitor these disruptions. A common cause of most outages is trees falling on cable or fiber lines during severe weather. Depending on the extent of the damage, cleanup can take anywhere from a few hours to several days. Without a backup connection, you may need to rely on a hotspot or another solution, which can slow down productivity.

Imagine this: your primary internet connection goes down. Panic sets in, but instead of chaos, your business glides smoothly into action thanks to a backup ISP. This seamless transition to a secondary connection keeps your operations humming along, ensuring that productivity never misses a beat.

Having a reliable ISP backup, you'll protect your business from disruptions and maintain the flow of work, no matter what happens.
