Backup Internet FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about backup internet.

How fast is the failover?

Most failovers complete in under 30 seconds. For some setups, it can be even faster. Your team might not even notice the switch happened.

Is 4G/5G fast enough for business use?

For most businesses, yes. 4G typically delivers 20-50 Mbps, which is enough for email, web, VoIP, and cloud apps. 5G can be much faster.

What if mobile coverage is poor at my location?

We'll check coverage before recommending a solution. In some cases, an external antenna can improve signal. If mobile backup won't work, we'll look at other options.

Do I need new equipment?

Usually, yes. Failover requires a router that supports multiple WAN connections. We can supply and configure the right equipment for your needs.

How much data does the backup connection need?

That depends on how often your main internet fails and how much your business uses. We can help you estimate based on your situation.

Will my VoIP phones work on the backup connection?

Yes. That's one of the main reasons businesses get backup internet. Your phone system keeps working even when your main line is down.
