Whether you're running a business, working from home, living somewhere with limited broadband or simply struggling to get WiFi where you need it, GWB Tec can help.

[Tell Us About Your Connectivity Problem](https://gwbtec.co.uk/contact)

We're on a mission to help people get better connected.

That doesn't mean selling everyone the most expensive network or the fastest broadband package available. It means understanding what's causing the problem, looking at what's realistically available, and finding a solution that works for you.

Know the difference

## Is it your internet or your WiFi?

Your internet connection brings the internet into your property. Your WiFi distributes it around it.

You can have fast broadband coming in but terrible WiFi upstairs, in the garden, or in another building. You can also have great WiFi coverage fed by a slow connection.

**Buying faster broadband won't fix a WiFi coverage problem, and buying more WiFi equipment won't fix a poor internet connection.**

How we can help

## Whatever the connectivity problem, there's usually a practical fix

You don't need to know what you need. Tell us what's going wrong and we'll work out the rest.

Broadband

### Full fibre & faster connections

Getting the fastest, most reliable connection actually available at your property.

Alternatives

### 4G, 5G & Starlink

Practical options when traditional broadband is limited, slow, or simply isn't good enough, including full Starlink setup and installation.

Resilience

### Backup connectivity

A second route online, so one connection failing doesn't take your business offline with it.

Coverage

### Dead spots & poor WiFi

Working out why the WiFi is great downstairs and useless upstairs, or anywhere else it won't reach.

Expansion

### Connecting another building

Extending your network into a workshop, outbuilding or separate office.

Outdoors

### Outdoor WiFi

Gardens, yards, campsites, holiday parks and other outdoor work areas.

**"I need WiFi in my workshop." "Our internet is terrible." "We can't get decent broadband here." "The WiFi doesn't reach the garden."** That's enough. We'll help work out the rest.

There isn't one correct way to solve every connectivity problem. Sometimes a small change makes a big difference; other situations need more infrastructure. We'll look at what you're trying to achieve and what you're comfortable spending before recommending a solution.

## Full fibre, 4G/5G or Starlink: which is right for you?

The best internet connection is the fastest, most reliable one actually available at your property. Full fibre is usually first choice where it exists; 4G/5G and Starlink are practical alternatives where it doesn't, and either can also act as a backup connection.

Full fibre 4G / 5G Starlink

How it works Fibre-optic cable to the building Mobile network signal Satellite dish with a clear view of the sky
Availability Depends on your address Depends on local mobile signal Almost anywhere in the UK
Reliability Usually the most consistent Varies with signal and network load Good; heavy obstructions such as trees can cause drop-outs
Installation Provider install; can take weeks Quick; a router, sometimes an external antenna Dish mounting and cabling; best installed properly
Good as a backup? Rarely; it is normally the main line Yes Yes

Frequently asked

## Connectivity questions

You don't need to diagnose the problem before contacting us.

### How do I know if it's my internet or my WiFi?

You often don't need to. Describe what's happening and we'll help work out which it is and what to do about it.

### Do you only work with standard offices?

No. We help with homes, businesses, workshops, rural properties, campsites and anywhere that's proving difficult to connect.

### Is Starlink always the right answer for poor broadband?

Not necessarily. If we don't think Starlink is right for your situation, we'll tell you and explain the alternatives.

### Can you extend WiFi to just one room or building?

Yes. Solutions can be as small as fixing coverage in one area or as involved as connecting a separate building.
