We currently have at work a fractional T1: 8 voice lines and data. Cavalier. Here are the results:
Repeating the test gets around the same download speed, but often the upload speed results are even higher. Trifle odd, wouldn't you say- we aren't supposed to be symmetrical.
Anyway, we will likely relocate in a few months and move to a full T1 for data alone. That's 1.5M. We've simply outgrown the current speeds. Ten years ago we had no internet access at all. 7 or 8 years ago, we were on dial up. Can't exist today without some form of broadband- and we do not host (or even have) a website. The new location will have capacity for growth way beyond what we could ever foresee using.
Question- for those of you working in small business, and we're around 10M in sales, what speeds are you "getting by" with?
