In today’s always-on business environment, connectivity is no longer just an IT concern but a strategic business asset. From cloud-based systems and video conferencing to VoIP calls, brief network interruptions can impact operations, customer experience, and your bottom line.
This is why more organisations are moving beyond standard “best effort” internet solutions, which become slower as more people use them. Instead, they are opting for managed connectivity, which in comparision, guarantees speed and offers recovery time after service interruption (based on a standard Service Level Agreement).
To scale your business, you need reliable connectivity that is built for performance – you need Business Connect.
What Is Business Connect?
Business Connect is the most affordable version of our managed connectivity solutions. It provides high-speed, reliable, and uncontended connectivity via Vodacom’s most feasible access mediums – including fibre and FWA (Fixed Wireless Access). Additionally, the service includes LTE backup which keeps your business connected even during unexpected outages.
Over and above this, Business Connect is uncapped and, unlike most other internet services, provides the same upload and download speeds.
This makes Business Connect ideal for:
- SMEs running critical online operations
- Businesses that rely on integrated voice and data services
- Businesses planning for growth and scalability
Why Business Connect is the best option for your business?
Business Connect is designed to support small to medium business environments with features that go beyond standard connectivity offerings.

Optimised for Voice and Data Integration
Business Connect offers an optional Business Connect Voice VLAN value-added service for businesses that rely heavily on voice communication, such as having telesales agents.
This dedicated VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) separates and prioritises voice traffic from data traffic, helping ensure clear, reliable call quality during periods of high data usage. Additionally, this service comes in bandwidth increments from 2Mbps to 10Mbps, operating within the existing Business Connect bandwidth.
Another key fact, the VLAN is designed for on-site and IP-enabled PBX/switchboards as well as Vodacom voice solutions such as One Net Business, IP Talk, and SIP.
This makes it a cost-effective option for businesses looking to optimise voice performance without adding complexity.
A Connectivity Solution That Grows With Your Business
Scalability is a key advantage of Business Connect. Businesses can confidently scale operations without worrying about network limitations with flexible packages, multiple access mediums and support for concurrent users.
In a digital-first economy, connectivity directly impacts productivity, customer experience, and long-term growth. Business Connect gives businesses the confidence of managed, uncontended connectivity, backed by SLAs, robust infrastructure, and optional value-added services.
