Accessing cloud-based applications programs over a low-speed Internet connection does not give you the response time to efficiently use cloud-based software. This is especially true if your business runs data-intensive tasks that require large exchanges of information between your local machines and cloud-based software. For businesses with several employees, a low-speed Internet connection can also slow down operations when numerous employees access online services at once. Although both 5 Mbps and 25 Mbps Internet connections meet the needs of most businesses, the right choice for your business depends on the type of applications you run in the cloud – or through remote Web services – and how often your employees need to access them.
