The Guaranteed Minimum Bandwidth is a key element for companies that rely on a stable and high-performance Internet connection. In fact, it is not enough to consider only the maximum achievable speed; it is essential to ensure that the connection never drops below a certain level, in order to avoid interruptions or slowdowns that could compromise business operations.

Let’s take a closer look at what Guaranteed Minimum Bandwidth is, why it is so important for businesses, and how to choose the most suitable service for your needs.

What is meant by Guaranteed Minimum Bandwidth?

The Guaranteed Minimum Bandwidth (GMB) is a parameter that defines the minimum connection speed ensured by the provider, regardless of network traffic or other variables. For businesses, this represents a crucial aspect in maintaining operational continuity and ensuring the proper functioning of critical applications.

What is the difference between Nominal Bandwidth and Guaranteed Minimum Bandwidth?

The nominal bandwidth is the maximum data transfer speed that the service can reach, which is why it is also referred to as “peak speed.” On the other hand, the Guaranteed Minimum Bandwidth, often not even mentioned in connectivity contracts, indicates the minimum bandwidth capacity ensured by the provider.

What does Guaranteed Minimum Bandwidth depend on?

The Guaranteed Minimum Bandwidth of an Internet connectivity service mainly depends on the technology used:

Shared connections (or multi-point)

In the case of wireless connections such as FWA (Fixed Wireless Access) or 5G, or fiber connections like FTTC (Fiber To The Cabinet) or FTTH (Fiber To The Home), it is rare to have a Guaranteed Minimum Bandwidth (GMB) equal to 100%.
These technologies involve multiple users sharing the same network, which can lead to congestion and the risk of saturation at any time.

Dedicated point-to-point connections

With this type of connection, whether fiber optic or radio link, the Guaranteed Minimum Bandwidth (GMB) can reach up to 100%, since the link is entirely reserved for a single company.

In this case, the risk of congestion is completely eliminated.
