fiber-broadband-connection-important-for-businesses

The marketplace is slowly going in the direction of becoming virtual. People are making almost half of their purchases online. Businesses have shifted to online platforms and can operate 24/7 because of that. Fiber broadband connection has become an important part of businesses which are operating online. Without a fiber connection, online businesses would fall apart and not be able to provide services efficiently. So if you have a business and are thinking of going online, here is why you should get a fiber broadband connection right away.

Advantages of Having Fiber Broadband Connections for Your Business

We will list several different reasons for why you must have a fiber broadband connection for your business. The first and most obvious reason is high-bandwidth and data capabilities. Fiber connections offer up to 1 Gbps or 1,000 Mbps downloading and uploading speeds. Adding to this, users also get a ton of data for maximum internet usage. It will be beneficial for your business since you don't have to worry about downloading big files at faster speeds.

The second is the high speed. As mentioned above, users get up to 1 Gbps speeds with fiber broadband connections. The great thing is that the speed is consistent with a fiber connection, users don't have to worry about speeds dropping during peak hours of the business. Business broadband lines mostly have a lower contention ratio. Contention ratio refers to the number of users sharing the internet server with you. The lower the number will be, the better your internet experience will be.

Fiber broadband connections also avail the user with an option to get static IP addresses. So for businesses which are looking to host their own servers, they can do so with a fiber connection. Also, up time for the internet connection is a huge factor. If you get an unstable internet connection, it will hurt your business a lot. But fiber broadband connections generally have very high-percentage of uptime. This enables businesses to provide their customers with faster responses and generate goodwill.

Another factor is the scalability. With a fiber broadband connection, users can keep changing their plans and the benefits they get with it. If you need a higher speed data plan for your businesses, you can talk to your internet service provider and get it. Fiber connections for businesses can be customised, but they do attract a good sum of charges.

These are a few of the reasons why we think you must get a fiber connection for your online business. If you can think of some more, please leave them in the comments section below.

whatsapp-vs-signal-vs-telegram-features-privacy

WhatsApp users worldwide are a little worried about how the new terms and conditions of the app will affect their privacy. Thus, instead of accepting the new terms and conditions, users are switching to other alternatives of WhatsApp. One of the apps which has gained a lot of popularity because of the switch is 'Signal'. Multiple personalities, including Elon Musk, have endorsed 'Signal' to be the application users can switch to. Then there is 'Telegram', a popular texting app that has existed for a few years in India now. That is why, today we are comparing WhatsApp, Signal, and Telegram so that it becomes easy for you to decide which application you want to go with.

WhatsApp vs Signal vs Telegram: Basic Features

WhatsApp has its advantages and limitations. Users can create groups in WhatsApp and add up to 256 members. The app enables users to make group voice and video calls. There is also a broadcasting feature that allows the message to be delivered to multiple contacts simultaneously. The app only allows up to 8 people to join a group video call. WhatsApp also supports individual video and voice calling.

Users can post status, which is similar to that of Instagram story. The app allows sharing of pictures, videos, and documents with contacts. However, the maximum size of the video, photo, and audio files being shared is limited to 16MB and documents is limited to 100MB. WhatsApp offers third-party backup services with Google Drive and iCloud, and it is completely free.

Coming to Telegram, it has multiple features which WhatsApp doesn't. Users can add up to 2,00,000 contacts in a group. There are features such as polls, hashtags, quizzes, which enhance interaction between the users in a group. The maximum size limit for a file that can be shared by the users is 1.5GB. It also has a self-destructing feature for the messages which WhatsApp doesn't. Users can also make voice and video calls.

Signal offers texting, voice calling, and video calling services. All the communication is end-to-end encrypted. There is no broadcasting feature; however, users can create groups and group calling feature is also present. Users get a 'Note to Self' feature to jot down anything important they don't want to forget. In comparison to WhatsApp, the emojis are very limited. The app also supports self-destructing messages feature.

WhatsApp vs Signal vs Telegram: Security

WhatsApp chats are very secure since they are end-to-end encrypted and no, Facebook is not collecting chat data of the users with the new terms and conditions of the application. However, none of the backup data in WhatsApp is encrypted.

Telegram also offers end-to-end encryption for chats. But that is not the default setting, for keeping the chats safe, users need to use the 'secrets chat' feature of the app. The company also claims that none of the user data has been shared with other companies until now. There is one thing though; Telegram doesn't support the 'secret chats' feature on its desktop version in Windows computers/laptops.

Signal is by the far the best amongst the three when it comes to security. The app uses open-source Signal Protocol for enabling end-to-end encryption of chats just like WhatsApp. But Signal also encrypts the metadata to protect user privacy from all corners which WhatsApp doesn't. The app also supports encrypted group calls.

WhatsApp vs Signal vs Telegram: Data Collected

Signal collects nothing other than the user’s phone number whereas Telegram only collects user ID, contacts, and contact info of the user.

WhatsApp on the other hands collects the following data after the implementation of new terms and conditions: user ID, device ID, purchase history, advertising data, phone number, coarse location, contacts, email address, crash data, product integration, payment information, other diagnostic data, performance data, product interaction, customer support, and other user content.

This post first appeared on TelecomTalk Read more at: https://telecomtalk.info/bsnl-free-sim-card-frc-rs100/323937/, BSNL to Again Offer Free SIM Card for Customers With FRC of More Than Rs 100

State-run BSNL has again introduced the free SIM card offer in Chennai and Tamil Nadu telecom circles. As part of this offer, BSNL is issuing free SIM card worth Rs 20 to all new customers, but the only condition is that the customer’s FRC value should be more than Rs 100. The offer is valid from January 8, 2021, to January 16, 2021, said BSNL in an official press release. On December 31, we reported that the free SIM card offer on BSNL network had been extended till January 31, 2021, which seems to be applicable in other circles keeping the Chennai and Tamil Nadu circles aside. The BSNL free SIM card offer was introduced by the telco last year to push the subscribers to make at least Rs 100 recharge by waiving off the SIM card charges.

BSNL SIM Card Can Be Availed for Free Now

It is hereby conveyed that the issue of FREE SIM (Costing Rs 20/- only) to all new customers for activations whose FRC (First Recharge) is more than Rs 100/- is approved for the following 9 days (Nine days) from 08.01.2021 to 16.01.2021, said BSNL in the official release. The only condition customers need to satisfy is the first recharge value should be more than Rs 100.

BSNL new subscribers can avail the FRC 108 which offers benefits like 250 minutes per day, 1GB data per day and 500 SMSes per day for 45 days. Yes, you heard it right. The FRC 108 comes with 45 days of validity. BSNL revised this plan a few months ago to provide a highly competitive first recharge plan to the subscribers. Private telecom operators- Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea are providing FRCs starting at Rs 97, but the benefits are not as impressive as BSNL’s FRC 108.

In other news, BSNL has introduced Republic Day 2021 offers. The telco has increased the validity of PV 1,999 by 21 days alongside offering extra validity of 72 days on PV 2,399. Starting today, the PV 1,999 from BSNL comes with 386 days validity, whereas the PV 2,399 offers 437 days of validity. Before this revision, the PV 2,399 was offering a whopping 600 days of validity. Besides these two revisions, BSNL also hiked the price of PV 186 to PV 199 and also said the STV 199 would be available at a slightly increased price of STV 201. The telco clearly seems to be in the process of hiking prepaid tariffs, although in a very small margin for now. Private telco Vodafone Idea also aiming at raising tariffs in the next few weeks to improve ARPU and financial situation.
