How Much Bandwidth Do SMBs Now Need?

How much bandwidth do small and mid-sized businesses believe they need? 

Smaller entities with less than 100 employees tend to have a sweet spot between 50 Mbps and 500 Mbps. All that has implications for the value of telco or internet service provider internet access for businesses.

Where cable companies supply DOCSIS 3.1 service, or telcos have fiber to premises, demand for fixed wireless will be muted. Fixed wireless will have most potential benefit for telcos who cannot justify fiber to premises at specific locations. 

So telco fixed wireless in many cases will be a necessary, but not sufficient precondition for competing with cable company services.
