Why Hats BDL Over Standard Broadband
| Capability | Business Broadband | Hats BDL |
|---|---|---|
| Bandwidth Guarantee | Best effort / shared | CIR with contractual guarantee |
| SLA Availability | None or limited | 99.99% with financial backing |
| Latency Consistency | Variable (peak-hour spikes) | Predictable, low jitter |
| Symmetry | Often asymmetric | Symmetric upload/download |
| Static IPs | Dynamic or limited | Block assignment available |
| Support Response | Standard business hours | 24/7 with escalation paths |
Use Cases
Primary Uplink
Mission-critical office connectivity with guaranteed access to cloud SaaS platforms. Eliminates productivity loss during peak hours.
Data Center Interconnect
Redundant circuits and dual-homed connectivity between facilities. Diverse paths eliminate single points of failure for enterprise networks.
Cloud Access
Direct, low-latency access to AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Predictable performance for hybrid cloud and multi-cloud deployments.
VoIP and UCaaS
Voice and unified communications demand sub-150ms latency with minimal jitter. Dedicated bandwidth eliminates call quality issues.
Benchmarks for Critical Workloads
TU-T guidance commonly uses <150ms one-way delay for highly interactive voice tasks.
Microsoft’s Teams connectivity test passes with UDP latency <100ms, UDP jitter <30ms, and UDP packet loss <1%.
