Business in Hackney
Hackney is small creative and technology businesses in buildings that were built for something else. Studios, agencies, post-production, architecture and a large food and drink sector occupy railway arches, converted warehouses and upper floors around Dalston, London Fields and Hackney Wick — space that is characterful and almost always awkward to network. Brick, steel and long thin floorplates defeat a single access point in the middle of the room, which is the arrangement most of these businesses started with and most are still living with.

Hackney — common questions
Our Hackney studio is a converted warehouse and the Wi-Fi is patchy. What fixes it?
Almost certainly more access points rather than a stronger one, which is the opposite of what people expect. Brick and steel absorb signal, so a single unit in the centre reaches the middle of the room well and the far corners badly. A survey places two or three properly and usually costs less than the second router most businesses buy first.
We are a Hackney business sending large video files out. What connection do we need?
One with real upload speed, which broadband does not have — it is asymmetric by design, so sending is several times slower than receiving. A leased line gives you matching speed in both directions and a contractual fix time. Where the budget will not stretch, full fibre with the best available upload is the sensible middle, and we will say which applies.
