INTERNET FOR BUSINESS
Business connectivity may combine primary internet, alternative access paths, managed networking, security and operational support. The design should reflect the site, applications and resilience requirements rather than relying on a consumer-style package alone.
Explore Business InternetDON'T RELY ON ONE PATH
Using different access technologies can improve connectivity resilience when the solution is properly assessed and designed. Availability, switching behaviour and service performance remain technology- and site-dependent.
Separate fixed access technologies can provide an alternative path where both are technically available.
Mobile-network connectivity can supplement a fixed Fibre service, subject to coverage and design.
Wireless options can be combined where their underlying infrastructure and performance characteristics differ.
Business sites can be assessed for multiple links, routing and managed resilience appropriate to their requirements.
THE CONNECTION IS ONLY THE START
Layer 3 can connect Internet access with security, support and managed network capabilities. Internet remains the foundation; these supporting pathways help customers build a more complete environment.

INTERNET QUESTIONS
It depends on your location, available infrastructure, performance needs and resilience requirements. Start with an availability check.
Fibre can be excellent where available, but Fixed Wireless or LTE & 5G may be more suitable for a location, deployment timeline or backup strategy.
Check Fixed Wireless and LTE & 5G availability, or ask Layer 3 to assess a custom solution.
Fixed Wireless uses fixed-location wireless infrastructure, while LTE & 5G use mobile-network connectivity. Both remain coverage and capacity dependent.
Yes. Business Internet is designed around primary access, backup links, managed networking and site requirements.
Alternative access paths can be designed using different technologies, subject to coverage and technical assessment.
Layer 3 works through supported Fibre, wireless and mobile networks nationally, with availability determined by location.
