52 Days Extra Productivity With BB
Posted: 12th May, 2004 By: MarkJ
The latest research from NTL finds that businesses upgrading from dialup to broadband can recover up to 52 days a year in lost productivity:
The study found that 56 per cent of small businesses in Britain had already upgraded to broadband, with Scottish firms leading the way with a 62 per cent take-up. Two thirds of those polled said that broadband had boosted their ability to communicate with customers and suppliers, while half said the ability to implement new business applications as a key advantage.
In a further example of the UKs "long hours culture", over two thirds of businesses said that they used time saved by broadband for marketing and new initiatives rather than reducing working hours. More than six in ten said that they would immediately increase the speed of their broadband connection if they thought it would save even more time.
NTL obviously has a vested interest in such findings, which should realistically vary depending on the business size and nature. More @ The Register.
