In 2025, speed is no longer a luxury — it’s a baseline expectation. Whether it’s about your internet connection, how quickly your team can respond to customers, or how fast your cloud apps load, your business’s success now hinges on its ability to move at digital speed.
So the real question is: how fast should your business really be in 2025?
Let’s break it down and explore how CloudX is helping Kiwi businesses meet that benchmark.
Speed is More Than Bandwidth
Sure, having fibre is essential — but real speed means:
Low latency for video calls and cloud tools
Reliable access to cloud apps and VoIP
Instant failover in case of outages
Built-in security without performance hits
Your operations can't afford frozen screens, delayed uploads, or jittery calls. In 2025, milliseconds matter.
What "Fast" Looks Like in 2025
Businesses aiming to stay competitive should be aiming for:
Function | Expected Speed |
---|---|
Cloud File Access | < 3 seconds for large files |
Video Conferencing | < 100ms latency |
SD-WAN Failover | < 2 seconds |
SaaS App Response | < 1 second |
Endpoint Patch Rollout | Within 24 hours |
