A Comcast Business Case Study
English Gardens is a family-owned Detroit nursery and garden center founded in 1954 with six retail locations and a full-service landscaping business. Facing growing competition from national retailers, the company struggled with a slow 3 Mbps MPLS connection that hindered inventory management, tagging and purchase-order systems and pulled staff away from serving customers.
English Gardens replaced its legacy link with Comcast Business Ethernet Dedicated Internet—fiber-based 50 Mbps service at all six stores—providing 16× more bandwidth and a dependable network backbone. The upgrade enabled a wireless inventory-management rollout, more responsive customer service and the reliable, scalable infrastructure the company needed to operate like a larger competitor while remaining a family-focused business.
