The advertised 5G download speed of 150Mbps applies to at least 50% of 5G Broadband customers between the peak hours of 8pm and 10pm and is based on average peak download data speeds from our routers in August 2022, which averaged 157mpbs. As it is based on customer demand, which in turn depends on what users are doing (which may be low data activities), we expect the speed capability of our network for particularly data intensive activities to be even higher. We review this measure periodically. Due to the nature of the wireless technology delivering your broadband, the speed that any individual premise will experience is not guaranteed, may vary and can be impacted by local factors, such as the positioning of the hub, and local factors such as line of sight to your nearest mast, local topography (such as hills) number of users accessing the network in your area and thickness of walls and windows.
5G Business Broadband buyer's guide
February 15, 2024
What is 5G Business Broadband?
Put simply, you get a 5G-ready broadband hub you can just plug in, with no need for installation, to get your team online fast. If you have a larger team you can buy multiple hubs – each hub can connect up to 30 users. And instead of using fixed fibre technology, it uses 5G mobile technology. So if there’s no fibre, it’s no problem.
“Everyone knows that a strong reliable internet connection is absolutely vital for SMEs, but often those connections are neither convenient nor great value for money.
“At Three Business, we know things should be different. That’s why we’ve introduced a broadband connection that runs on 5G, meaning no waiting for roads to be dug up or engineers running wires through the walls, simply plug and play out of the box. All for less than the cost of fixed line alternatives with similar speeds .”
Snehal Bhudia, Director of Business Propositions, Three Business
What are the benefits of our 5G business broadband?
With average download speeds of 150mb/sec [1], each 5G hub offers you the broadband speeds your business needs for multiple users, at highly competitive prices. If you move between different locations for work, as long as you’re still within our coverage area you can plug your hub in and connect anywhere. This means you can use it on building sites with no infrastructure in place, for hybrid working between locations, on home-based days, or for any area with no fibre.
You can also set up Guest Wi-Fi, so you can avoid having to give out your main password to clients and customers. And if you need any support, our expert business team are on hand to help.
Café Lavatté needed an internet connection reliable enough to handle payments, CCTV, customer broadband and more. Three Business offered the complete package.
Should you get multiple broadband hubs?
Of course, multiple broadband hubs are the perfect way to connect larger teams, but there are other benefits too, for a variety of businesses. If you’re working on a large building site with no infrastructure in place, multiple hubs can simply be plugged in to keep everyone online.
If you use satellite offices, you can get the number of portable hubs you need for the various locations. Landlords can move the hubs between properties without any installation, and on caravan parks holiday makers can be offered instant Wi-Fi to plug in and use, which is switchable between caravans.
The benefits of portable, multiple hubs gives businesses a flexible solution to their connectivity.
How do you set up Three Business Broadband?
It couldn’t be simpler – insert the SIM card sent with your hub, and plug it in. That’s it, which means no down time when you switch to us. Up to 30 devices can be connected to 1 hub, and you can buy multiple hubs for larger teams as part of an affordable Mix & Match deal. If you order before 1pm on a working day, you can also get next working day delivery.
When it comes to positioning your hub(s), we recommend you avoid any obstacles such as doors and walls between where it sits, and the place you’ll be accessing your broadband. Each hub has 3 signal lights on the front of it, and the more lights, the better the signal.
