Fix Office 365 Connectivity Issues Easily: Combine Connections

With more than 180 million monthly active users worldwide, Office 365 is one of the most popular collaboration tools. It allows organizations to conduct business effectively with partners all over the world. It’s great as long as it’s working properly. But, for many users Office 365, and more specifically Outlook, seems to have connectivity issues.

The reason for your Office 365 connectivity issues is most likely a poor connection to the Internet. So, solving the problem means getting a fast, stable and secure connection. Read below how to get that for you and your team members.

The most common cause of Office 365 connectivity issues is actually the Internet you’re using. When you have a slow or unreliable Internet connection, your Office 365 programs aren’t able to work properly. Sometimes, you may not even realize that you have an Outlook connection issue until you see you’re not getting any new emails. 

Your device is exchanging a complex set of data packets with the Microsoft servers. If your Wi-Fi connection has a momentary blip or your cellular connection fluctuates, some of the flow of those packets gets interrupted. It can take a few moments for the data to catch up.

And while Outlook emails will be delayed, other sensitive components such as Skype for Business will be affected severely. Remember VoIP calls where the audio cuts in and out, where the video lags, and where the audio and video don’t sync properly? It’s important you take care of this.

As mentioned above, Office 365 and all programs in the suite will perform as good as your Internet can perform. For example, Microsoft has a whole troubleshooting area for Outlook connectivity on their support website where you can try different solutions.

At this time, whether you’re using a laptop, a desktop computer or a mobile device, it only uses one connection at a time. Even though you may be connected to both WiFi and cellular data on your smartphone, it’ll use only one of them. So, the solution for fast, reliable and secure Internet is simple: use a secure channel bonding service for your organization, like Speedify for Teams.
