Broadband & Internet

Fast, reliable business internet connections for North West businesses – from leased lines and fibre broadband to managed Wi-Fi and 4G/5G failover.

Everything your business does online depends on your internet connection. Cloud software, Microsoft 365, VoIP phone calls, video meetings, remote working – all of it relies on a fast, stable, reliable connection. When that connection is slow or unreliable, your whole business feels it.

Blowfish Technology sources, installs and fully manages business internet connections from the UK’s leading providers. We assess your location, your team size and your requirements – then recommend the right product at the right price. Whether you need a dedicated leased line for maximum reliability or a cost-effective fibre broadband connection, we’ll find the best fit.

Because we manage the carrier relationship on your behalf, you have one number to call if anything goes wrong – no more being passed around between different providers. Get in touch to discuss the right solution for your business.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a leased line and broadband? ⌄

Standard broadband is a shared connection – your bandwidth is shared with other users in your area, which can cause slowdowns at peak times. A leased line is a dedicated connection just for your business, providing symmetrical speeds (same upload and download), guaranteed bandwidth and a contractual uptime SLA. Leased lines cost more but offer significantly better reliability and performance.

How long does it take to install a leased line? ⌄

Leased line installation typically takes between 30 and 90 days depending on your location and whether new infrastructure is required. We manage the entire process and keep you updated throughout. We can also set up a temporary 4G connection to bridge any gap during installation.

What happens if our internet connection goes down? ⌄

If you have a 4G/5G failover connection in place, your traffic is automatically rerouted the moment your primary line fails – keeping your business online. We also manage fault reporting and resolution with the carrier on your behalf, so you don’t have to spend time on hold to a network helpline.

Do I need a static IP address? ⌄

A static IP address is recommended if your business hosts any services (such as a web server or CCTV system), uses VPN connections for remote working, or requires consistent inbound connectivity. We can advise whether a static IP is right for your setup.

Can you provide Wi-Fi for our whole premises? ⌄

Yes. Our managed Wi-Fi service covers your entire premises with secure, high-performance wireless access. We design the network, supply and install the hardware, configure security settings and manage it on an ongoing basis – including separate guest networks where required.
