5 Mbps means success for the solopreneur.

Some of the best things come in small packages, and the same can be said for internet. You don’t always have to have the biggest and fastest; when it comes to your business, it’s best to find what fits. Just because your high-speed internet bandwidth may be smaller doesn’t mean that it’s limited.

A dedicated DSL line keeps your business’s connection secure and completely private, ensuring it won’t become bogged down with others using your network. A 5 Mbps internet connection is tailored for your one- to two-man operation, providing a solid work platform whether you’re just starting out or have been in business for a while. It handles casual file uploading and streaming, though an HD video download might slow the speed down a bit. However, you will still have the freedom to complete the daily projects and tasks you have lined up, including the following:

  • Web browsing
  • Light video streaming
  • Organizing files and projects
  • Video chatting
  • Tracking invoices

It never hurts to know exactly where your bandwidth stands. If you’re not sure what kind of speed you’re getting, take a speed test to help determine whether or not you’re getting what you need.

How fast does 5 Mbps internet run?

5 Mbps internet provides download speeds at 5 megabits/second and upload speeds up to 0.5 megabits/second. This speed is ideal for businesses with 1–2 employees, as more traffic may slow the connection down. At this rate, a 10 MB file would take approximately 16 seconds to download.

Expand your business potential with higher speeds.

Your business’s growth is something to celebrate—internet that can’t keep up with that growth is not. Fiber-optic internet speeds are suited for downloading large files, supporting multiple users and devices, and accommodating a lot more data. If you’re ready to graduate to the big leagues of business internet, Verizon Fios Internet for Business is waiting for you.
