When it comes to VoIP digital phone systems, the faster your broadband speed the better. This is why we strongly recommend choosing a high-speed fibre option wherever possible.
Fibre broadband, also known as fibre-optic broadband, is a high-speed internet connection that uses fibre-optic cables to transmit data at incredibly fast speeds. Unlike traditional copper cables, fibre-optic cables use pulses of light to carry data, which results in significantly faster and more reliable internet connections. Great for growing businesses!
Understanding VoIP and Fibre Broadband
VoIP allows a user to make calls over the Internet instead of using traditional mobile lines. On the other hand, fibre broadband uses fibre-optic cables to offer ultra-fast, reliable Internet. A combination of both creates a modern and high-quality communication system that can be used at home or at the office.
Advantages of Fibre Broadband With VoIP
VoIP digital phone systems can work over various types of internet connections, including fibre, cable and even wireless connections like 4G or 5G. However, fibre optic internet itself offers some very distinct advantages for VoIP. Here we take a look.
High Bandwidth
Fibre optic connections typically provide high bandwidth, which means better call quality and reliability for VoIP digital phone services. So you’re less likely to experience dropped calls, jitter, or latency issues compared to some other types of connections.
This higher bandwidth also means that you can have more members of your team online at once. So they may be on the phone, whilst at the same time downloading larger files or streaming videos.
Low Latency
Fibre optic connections generally have lower latency compared to other types of connections. Low latency is important for real-time communication applications like VoIP, as it reduces delays in voice transmission so there’s less lag. The sound quality is also better.
Reliability
Fibre optic cables are less susceptible to environmental interference and signal degradation, bringing about a more reliable internet connection. This reliability is important for maintaining consistent VoIP service without interruptions. It also means your website is less likely to go down, and fewer annoyed customers! After all, good customer service is key to your bottom line, and broadband reliability is a big part of this.
Supports Multiple Devices
With fibre, high bandwidth activities like streaming, downloading conference calls can be performed simultaneously. Therefore busy offices can have peace of mind that their VoIP systems would keep running smoothly without faltering.
