About once a month, I come across a company with over 50 employees (this week, one with 70) and only a 3 Mbps bonded T1 for Internet. Sometimes they upgrade to a 8 Mbps 1Velocity connection for the same as they were paying before for 3 Mbps. Everyone in the company comments on how much faster the connection is. They can get more work done and provide better service. One of our customers:
Our core agency application runs in a hosted environment via the internet. With this in mind greater bandwidth is key to achieving optimum efficiency. We can’t keep our clients on hold or waiting for us to wait on our data to be retrieved, but one of our biggest problems was a very large download of data that we perform on a daily basis.
By switching to 1Velocity we are now able to complete this download before the staff arrives each morning, thus having no impact on Internet usage and our VoIP, but most importantly we improved our response and customer service. We pride ourselves on providing excellent customer service, so moving to 1Velocity was a key decision in continuing this effort.

These days, most employees spend a majority of their time online using email and a web browser. If you have 50 employees, probably 40 are online at any given time. That means with a 3 Mbps connection, each employee only has a 75 kbps Internet connection (3M ÷ 40 = 75k).
How many employees do you have? How much work do they do on email and through the web browser? Could your company’s productivity or service improve if each person’s connection was almost 3X faster for the same price?
