Remember the pain of dialing up AOL?

Imagine how congested roads get when they’re overcrowded by traffic.

It flows faster when there are fewer bottlenecks, less diversions and everything can move at a steady continuous flow.

The internet is similar. No matter how fast the service you’ve installed, the signal gets stalled by the amount of data (traffic) on the network. It can start with the construction of your property, the distance from the router, the number of devices trying to access the system.

Once it gets out of the house consider what type of journey is it going on – is it straight onto a dedicated motorway (FTTP, 5G or satellite) or does it get stuck on a side road (FTTC) or even worse, a single-track country lane (copper wire – ADSL)?

Sadly, no matter how local the journey, or from how far away, your message will get routed via various exchange points – this is why your film will start buffering. It’s not necessarily your home internet – it will be the amount of traffic and the way it’s routed, known as latency.

As businesses and individuals crave greater access to the internet and indeed are being driven to it by commercial and government policy, how do we strike the right balance?

Quite apart from businesses utilising the cloud for banking, e-commerce, accounting, video conferencing, design and a plethora of other services, public agencies e.g. NHS, DWP and local authorities are also driving the change by requiring the community to access services via apps or online portals. All of this comes on top of the demand for social media, streaming, gaming, email, remote control doorbells, heating controllers and the use of multiple devices in the home, workplace and social settings.

How do you know what’s right for you and your situation?
