If the internet at work keeps dropping, it's fixable.
Most UK businesses live with intermittent dropouts because nobody has properly diagnosed them. Usually it's one of five causes — and all five are fixable with the right combination of broadband, network kit and configuration.
What we hear every week.
The frustrations behind why businesses search for internet keeps dropping at work in the first place. If any of these feel familiar, the fix is straightforward.
Dropouts during peak times
Right in the middle of an important call or a busy period, the connection drops for 30 seconds or 5 minutes. Comes back, drops again, comes back. Maddening.
VoIP calls cutting off
Voice calls dropping mid-conversation, customers irritated, reputation slowly damaged. Symptom of the same underlying connectivity issue.
Card payments declining
Card terminal goes offline mid-transaction. Customer waits, embarrassed staff, lost sale. Connectivity dropouts hit harder in retail and hospitality.
Reboot-the-router culture
IT-equivalent of rebooting the office router three times a day. It's not normal and there's almost always a proper fix.
Diagnose properly, fix at the root
Internet dropouts at work usually have one of five root causes: line faults at the carrier level (most common, often invisible to consumer-grade routers); inadequate broadband product for the number of users (contention hitting at peak); router or firewall hitting limits; WiFi interference (not actually broadband — the WiFi is dropping but the line is fine); or upstream carrier issues. Each has a specific fix. Diagnosis starts with proper line monitoring and traffic analysis, not by rebooting the router.
The Telexico approach to internet keeps dropping at work.
Six things our customers consistently tell us matter.
Proper diagnosis
We monitor your line for 7-14 days, identify the actual root cause, and prove it with data before recommending a fix.
Right broadband for your usage
If the current product is underspec'd for your number of users and traffic pattern, we upgrade to one that fits.
4G/5G failover
Auto-failover to mobile data when the line drops, so business continues through outages rather than stopping dead.
Mesh WiFi if WiFi is the issue
Many 'internet dropping' issues are actually WiFi dropping. Site survey identifies; mesh WiFi fixes.
SLA-backed uptime
Once we move you onto a properly-engineered setup, real SLAs with credits if we miss them.
UK engineers for break-fix
Wolverhampton-based engineers for on-site work when remote troubleshooting can't resolve it.
Built to diagnose, not just to sell more broadband
The temptation when a customer says 'internet keeps dropping' is to sell them a leased line. Sometimes that's the answer; usually it isn't. We diagnose properly first because the right fix is much cheaper than throwing a leased line at a problem that's actually a WiFi issue or a contention issue on the broadband you already have.
How it works for businesses like yours.
Three real-world setups we deliver across the UK.
Offices with reboot-the-router culture
Daily or weekly intermittent dropouts — usually fixable with proper diagnosis and the right combination of broadband + failover + WiFi.
Retail and hospitality losing payments
Card terminal offline during peak service. Failover is usually the immediate fix; proper broadband audit identifies whether the line itself needs upgrading.
Multi-site businesses with one problem site
Three sites fine, one site keeps dropping. Almost always a site-specific issue — line fault, contention, or WiFi configuration — that diagnosis identifies cleanly.
Why UK businesses pick Telexico to diagnose dropouts
We don't lead with 'you need a leased line' because most of the time you don't. We diagnose the actual cause with line monitoring, traffic analysis and on-site investigation, then fix at the root. The fix often costs less than the leased line we could have sold you, and works better because it addresses what was actually wrong.

Frequently asked questions
How do you diagnose intermittent dropouts?
Line monitoring tool deployed on your network for 7-14 days — measures uptime, latency, packet loss, jitter. We also analyse traffic patterns to identify whether dropouts correlate with usage peaks, time-of-day, or specific applications. On-site visit if WiFi seems implicated. Once we have data we know what to fix.
Is it definitely the broadband or could it be the router?
Could be either. Modern routers and firewalls hit performance ceilings — especially consumer-grade ISP routers running 30+ users. Line monitoring tells us; if dropouts are at the router we'd recommend a business-grade replacement; if dropouts are at the line we'd address the line.
Could it be WiFi rather than the actual internet?
Frequently yes — users assume 'internet dropped' when actually the WiFi disconnected and reconnected. Site survey and packet analysis identifies. Mesh WiFi or repositioned access points typically resolves.
What's 4G/5G failover and do I need it?
Automatic failover to mobile data when the primary line drops. Phones, card terminals and cloud apps keep working through outages. Whether you need it depends on the cost of downtime to your business — for retail, hospitality and customer-facing operations it usually pays for itself within months.
How long does it take to fix?
Diagnosis: 7-14 days monitoring. Fix: depends on root cause — failover can be installed in 1-2 weeks; broadband upgrade in 2-4 weeks; new circuit in 4-12 weeks. We give realistic timelines once diagnosis is complete.
What if my current provider says everything's fine?
Common — their monitoring may not be detecting the brief dropouts that affect you, or their support may be running standard checks that miss intermittent faults. Our line monitoring runs continuously and captures dropouts the carrier's tools miss. We can use that evidence to push the carrier into a proper fault investigation if it's a line fault.
Do I have to switch broadband providers to get this diagnosed?
No. We do diagnosis as a paid consulting engagement for businesses that want the issue identified without committing to a provider switch. If diagnosis identifies the issue is the broadband product itself, you'd then choose whether to upgrade with your existing provider or move to us.
Apply this to your business?
