Replacing a bottlenecked asymmetric circuit with fiber sized for how the team actually works.
Client goal
A growing business wanted internet speed and reliability that matched daily reality — cloud file sync, video calls, and remote access — instead of the slow, asymmetric connection the office had outgrown.
Before
The office was running on a 10×10 Mbps circuit that had been adequate years earlier but now bottlenecked uploads, video calls, and backups whenever more than a couple of people were online at once.
What A&G did
A&G evaluated the fiber providers newly available at the address, compared pricing and equipment requirements, coordinated the installation and failover plan, and reconfigured the firewall and switches for the new circuit.
After
The office moved to a symmetric fiber connection in the 1000×1000 Mbps range, eliminating the upload bottleneck and giving the business headroom to grow.
Why it matters
Good technology work should leave the client with more reliability, clearer ownership, better documentation, and fewer surprises. That is the standard A&G brings to project work and ongoing Technology Management.
Example project: fiber internet upgrade planning.
Fiber can immediately improve productivity when it is matched with the right firewall, Wi-Fi, switching, failover, and documentation.
- Challenge: the internet circuit improves, but the internal network may still limit performance.
- Approach: review provider handoff, firewall, cabling, switches, Wi-Fi, and backup internet options.
- Result: faster access, better uptime planning, and fewer unknowns when provider issues occur.
Recommended next step
A&G can review fiber options and the surrounding network before or after a provider upgrade.
