Business Broadband Solutions
To set-up your VoIP service, if you’re using a IP phone adapter or even a PBX, you’ll need to determine the exact type of broadband service.
Since VoIP is bandwidth dependent (read the advantages and disadvantages of Voip here), even if you already have an existing broadband for your data (surfing the net, emails, file transfer, intranet etc) it is recommended that you get dedicated for your VoIP phone service.
Why? Because you don’t want voice and data to be running on the same line, sharing the resources. If there is congestion, people would tolerate a slow-loading website or email program, but they will not tolerate waiting even 10 seconds to get a reply from the person they’re talking to.
Would you? That’s why adequate broadband for Voip is VERY important. Here are the different types of broad band services:
DSL
Digital Subscriber Line, which also has several variations such as ADSL, SDSL and IDSL. DSL is great if your company has less than 6 phone lines.
DSL is a technology that uses a standard copper two-wire pair (or line) to transmit high speed (high frequency) Internet connectivity to areas that will support the service.

Satellite
Satellite Internet service is ideal for those who cannot be reached by other Internet connection types.
Satellite Internet has come a long way since its conception and now is more reliable than ever. It relies on gestational satellites that orbit above the equator at the same speed as the earth’s rotation and, thus, appear to be stationary to the ground.
The average Satellite download speed is 400Kbps although the Satellite can run up to 1.1Mbps. This will be more than sufficient for most home based or small business Internet users.
As long as you have a clear view of the southern skies, you can get Satellite Internet service.
