What to look for in commercial high-speed Internet

Your high-speed Internet service connects and enables a wide range of business-critical technologies. From accessing cloud applications and sharing large files to videoconferencing and VoIP services, the quality of commercial high-speed Internet access is integral to business operations.

When choosing an Internet service, consider these essential criteria.

Speed
Your commercial high-speed Internet service should support bandwidth-intensive applications with the fastest commercial Internet speed - that is, symmetrical upload and download speeds that can scale up to 100 Gbps.

Reliability
Choosing the most reliable provider is the easiest way to avoid the consequences of unintended downtime. The right service will have redundancy in place to better maintain connectivity at all times across all environments. Reliability must be backed by an SLA that guarantees service availability and reimburses you for downtime.

Performance
A high-performance Internet connection must provide the lowest levels of latency, jitter and packet loss, enabling your teams to work together without contending with service interruptions or data loss.

Dedicated connections
While businesses on shared connections must compete for bandwidth, a dedicated Internet connection assures that the bandwidth you need is always available from your Internet service provider.

Fiber Internet
Fiber Internet connections offer the scalable, high-capacity connectivity that keep critical applications up and running.

Competitive pricing
Pricing varies widely by Internet service providers. Ideally, the cost of commercial high-speed Internet should be consistent nationwide, and bills should be clear, understandable and without hidden charges.

Manageability
A provider that offers managed services will give you the option of offloading management and ownership costs of routers, security and WiFi connectivity.

Scalability
The ability to quickly provision additional resources and locations and to scale your Internet bandwidth is essential in a rapidly shifting marketplace.

Support
Support for your commercial high-speed Internet service must be offered round-the-clock, with access to local technicians who can resolve issues quickly.
