Looking for a business broadband package

I hadn't envisioned getting a business broadband package was going to be quite as challenging as it has been. I spent a good 90 minutes of my time on the phone to various companies. Half the problem is communicating with the call centre staff and getting through to the right people in the first place, and also speaking to staff who know nothing about running a business or their own company's packages.


I eventually stuck with O2 as I use them for my home broadband. I was told it would take 2 weeks (1 week after the office rental charges start!) but have received confirmation today that it will in fact take them 24 days to set it up. All this and a stonking £67 connection charge. I am now desperately looking for a suitable dongle in the meantime that won't cost a fortune so that we can at least use the office!

A new office

I have found a new full time, private office to rent this week. I am filled with excitement and fear at the same time. I have been to sign the contract and have been allowed in to the office a week early, withou having to pay any extra rent. I found my office by carrying out a targetted search on Right Move

In theory the new office will save me money on parking, give me alot greater flexibility, a better work life balance and the space to grow the business starting with an intern. There are lots of positive reasons for having the office, but at the moment I am losing sleep of it as I am petrified it's going to bankrupt me. Things have already been challenging, starting with the Business broadband which I will cover in another post!
