The arrival of gigabit internet opens doors in the tech world

The tech world is no stranger to rapid development, with new, unheard of products finding their way onto the scene on a regular basis.

From time to time, however, a progression is made that really changes things. The most recent game changer in the world of technology is undoubtedly the availability of gigabit internet.

Gigabit internet opens lots of doors for a range of professionals. Here, we take a look at some of the ways it proves to be most revolutionary.

Catering for numerous users
Most broadband connections today do meet our needs – whether we’re streaming high definition video or downloading a large software package, we rarely have to wait. That is, until somebody else shares our bandwidth!

In the home, this might be a nuisance as one party or another is forced to wait a little longer for a video to buffer. In a business environment, however, insufficient bandwidth can have a considerable and negative impact on overall productivity. Gigabit internet connections can ensure that this problem doesn’t arise, no matter how many users are sharing the connection simultaneously.

Lightning download speeds
While some people use the web for little more than staying up to date with emails and reading text feeds, other users have more demanding needs.

As the technology for higher definition media becomes available, for example, file sizes are beginning to bloat once again.

As you can see here, what we consider to be high speed internet is changing all the time. As the size of the files we share increases, the speed of our internet connection needs to increase in order to keep download time low. Gigabit internet offers lightning download speeds for files of any size.

Unprecedented upload speeds
In times gone by, while ISPs have offered us attractive download speeds with our broadband packages, the upload speed has typically lagged behind. This neglect is being addressed across the board, as the Telegraph points out.

Gigabit internet offers the chance for symmetry, ensuring that our upload speeds can be just as high as our download speeds. This is hugely important in the world of business, where large amounts of data need to be travelling in more than one direction.

As you can see, the world of gigabit internet is taking the world by storm and is slowly but surely becoming a necessity in both the home and the office.
