Business Broadband for Kettering businesses

Kettering sits on the A14, which has shaped its business base: a lot of distribution, warehousing and manufacturing alongside a solid town-centre commercial community. Businesses on that corridor tend to run operations that cannot simply stop for a morning while something is fixed.

That changes what good service looks like. Resilience and a clear answer on how quickly something gets put right matter more here than a marginally cheaper monthly cost, and we would rather have that conversation before you sign than after something fails.

For the logistics businesses along the A14 through Kettering, connectivity is not an office convenience - it is what the warehouse management system, the scanners and the transport planning all depend on. That usually changes the answer from "the cheapest circuit that works" to "a circuit with a guaranteed fix time, plus a backup".

Backup connectivity is worth more here than the headline speed of the primary circuit. A second, independent line that takes over automatically costs a fraction of the main service and turns a stopped afternoon into an inconvenience nobody outside the building notices.

Connectivity options we provide

Everything below is part of the service in Kettering, not a list of optional extras priced separately.

Full fibre (FTTP)

Fibre all the way to the building where it is available. The sensible default for most offices now, with upload speeds far beyond the part-copper services it replaces - which matters as soon as you are sending files out rather than only pulling them down.

Leased lines

A dedicated, uncontended circuit with a guaranteed speed in both directions and a contractual fix time. The right answer when an outage stops you trading, and overkill when it does not.

FTTC and SoGEA

Where full fibre has not arrived yet, including single-line services that do not oblige you to keep paying for a phone line you no longer use.

Failover and backup circuits

A second, independent connection that takes over automatically when the primary fails, including mobile-based backup for sites where only one fixed option exists.

Voice-ready configuration

If your phone system runs over the connection, voice traffic is prioritised so calls do not break up the moment somebody starts a large upload or a backup kicks in.

Managed routers and firewalls

Business-grade equipment that we configure, monitor and keep patched - rather than a supplied box that nobody logs into again after installation day.

Large and awkward buildings

Warehouses, production floors and multi-storey premises need the connection distributed properly once it arrives. Getting fibre to the door solves half the problem; the other half is coverage inside.

Availability checked first

We check what can genuinely be delivered to your exact postcode before quoting, because availability varies street by street and industrial estates frequently lag the houses nearby.

Frequently Asked Questions

Often yes, and the calculation is simple rather than technical: what does an hour of not being able to dispatch cost you? A leased line gives a guaranteed speed in both directions and a contractual fix time, where broadband gives best effort. If an outage merely means a slow morning, broadband with a failover connection is usually the better value.
The router monitors the primary circuit and switches to the secondary when it fails, usually within seconds and without anyone needing to do anything. The important detail is that the two should be genuinely independent - a backup that shares the same physical route into the building fails at the same moment as the primary, which defeats the point.
Business broadband is shared with others in the area, so speeds vary with demand and upload is usually far slower than download. A leased line is dedicated: the speed is guaranteed, identical in both directions, and backed by a contractual fix time. A leased line costs considerably more, so the real question is what an hour of downtime costs you.
Usually, yes. Repeated dropouts are typically a line fault, a failing or overloaded router, or contention at particular times of day - and those look quite different in the diagnostics. We would rather identify the actual cause than sell you a faster circuit with the same underlying problem.
Yes. Sites can be joined into one private network so systems, phones and file access behave identically at each location, with security applied consistently rather than configured separately site by site.
