If your business internet is slow, the cause is rarely what you think it is. Most Perth small businesses assume the problem is their NBN plan — but in most cases, the issue is somewhere between the wall socket and your workstations. DM1 diagnoses business internet problems for Perth SMBs regularly, and the real causes are almost always one of the following.
Common Causes of Slow Business Internet
"The router is the problem, not the NBN"
Most business owners have a consumer-grade router supplied by their ISP. These are designed for home use and struggle under the load of multiple workstations. A business-grade router handles concurrent connections correctly.
"Wi-Fi channel congestion from neighbours"
In office buildings and shopping centres, dozens of Wi-Fi networks compete on the same channels. DM1 configures your wireless settings to use less congested channels and bands.
"Someone is using all the bandwidth"
A single large download or video call can consume most of your available bandwidth. DM1 configures Quality of Service rules so business traffic is prioritised.
"Old network switch bottlenecking everything"
A 10/100 switch from 2010 limits every device to 100Mbps even on a gigabit NBN connection. Replacing it costs under $100 and typically doubles perceived speeds.
"Too many devices on one access point"
Adding staff and devices without upgrading your wireless infrastructure means everyone shares the same access point capacity. DM1 assesses your site and deploys additional access points.
"NBN plan genuinely too small for the team"
If you have 10+ staff on an NBN 25 or 50 plan, you may simply need more bandwidth. DM1 reviews your usage and recommends the right plan.
