How to Measure Internet Speed for use with Office 365

Before moving ahead with Office 365 and / or CRM Online, it is important that you measure the speed of your internet connection first. The speed of your connection will determine how well your cloud computing systems will work!

Here is a short video with full instructions:

Ideally you need to be looking at the following speeds as a minimum:

2mb download or above for up to 5 users
4mb download or above for up to 10 users
6mb download or above for up to 20 users
10mb download or above for over 20 users

If your speeds are slow we would recommend checking to see if fibre (FTTC) or other services are available. We use two websites for this as sometimes the results can differ, generally if one website says the service is available then it usually is, your ISP will be able to confirm:

Enter BOTH your Postcode and Telephone Number for accurate results. If your telephone number isn’t recognised enter your fax number if you have one:

I attended a Microsoft Teams demo recently and was impressed by the way the session was delivered. I particularly like being able to see the presenter's face which builds rapport and engagement. Also hearing about how Eitex use Teams was helpful. I have attended other Teams training in which it seemed that every way to do every thing was covered which is a bit mind blowing if the topic is new to you. Thanks guys!

Attended a Cyber Security presentation at Eitex by West Yorkshire Police, Informative and "eye opening". There is always more you can do to protect your company and yourself. It just confirmed that you have to be constantly alert to threats.

I recently attended a Microsoft Teams workshop as its a tool I am keen to embrace in my new role and when an opportunity arose to see it in use by the professionals I got in contact and I am so glad I did. It was conducted in a relaxed environment where you feel comfortable to ask questions/pitch scenarios of use and also have the ability to see how it used elsewhere I worked at Eitex nearly 10 years ago Eitex has always been keen to be at the forefront and embrace changes within the IT space and its nice to see that's still the case with Dean and his team. Highly recommended

We have worked with Eitex over the past couple of years, managing and supporting both our hardware infrastructure and Microsoft 365 environment. In that time we have always had great service and they have always gone that extra mile to get everything just right. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Just attended an Office365 Taster session and even as an experienced user I found that there are alot of other programmes which we do not currently use but would be of benefit to us. Session was easy to follow and very informative.

Your team and yourself have once again excelled, the service you provide I feel is second to none and it is incidents like what we have just incurred which really test a service like you provide and to say you have gone above and beyond is an understatement. From the first report I made, your response time and the haste in which you acted has undoubtedly saved us untold hassle let alone cost.

YORKSHIRE RUBBER LININGS LTD “Here at YRL we know loads about rubber but much less about IT! That’s where Eitex comes in. They too are good at what they do and they make sure we keep going and service our customers by maintaining our computer based systems. We have used Eitex since its inception and are proud to say we were their very first client. Concentrate on what you’re good at and leave the IT stuff to Eitex!”

As Avanta has grown Eitex have been proactive in developing and maintaining our I.T. infrastructure as our needs have developed and changed over the years with the implementation of new technologies. Our network is faster, more secure and we can collaborate better saving time and money. If there has been any issues they have responded very quickly. I have no hesitation in recommending Eitex to others.”
