We haven't had any big issues with service, speed, etc. to speak of. Potentially looking at switching to a 30x30

My takeaway from this is that you'd be paying more to go slower. If you're not having any real issues, why pay more to go slower?

I'm sure some of our remote folks may see some better file transfer speeds but I'm not sure how much of a difference that will make overall going from 12 mb to 30 mb.

For some folks, it will be noticeable, and others, not so much. It will largely depend on what kind of internet connection your remote users have outside of the office.

Have you considered talking to your current ISP to see if they can provide more upload speed?

Excellent. Thank you guys. I'll pass the information on and hopefully they'll get in touch and get something good for them.

I've also found Teams getting used more and more by companies compared with Zoom. At the start of the pandemic it was all Zoom.

Zoom was very much the "I don't know what to do but people are talking about this Zoom thing" fallback.

Zoom is flat out easier to get into them teams. That’s the biggest reason it was first. Now because people are going all in with Microsoft teams is becoming dominant.

Teams meetings have gotten significantly easier for non Teams users since the beginning of the Pandemic (that's not to say it's still as easy as Zoom - personally, I think they are about the same), so that's a major help there too.

That's definitely true. At the beginning, even halfway through, I couldn't even join them. Now they mostly work just fine. I still don't like them, but they are much closer to other services than they were. Now they are "nearly as good" instead of "completely didn't work".

What's just so amazing is MS has has Skype for 2 or so decades.. and they still can't seem to get their heads out of their asses.
