Internet connectivity is a requirement for businesses to be competitive. There are just too many aspects of modern business that require internet access - including customer service, data management, software applications, internal and external communications, and more.
What some small business owners don’t realize is that there is a big difference between consumer internet service and business internet services. Dedicated business internet costs a little more, but it offers a host of advantages that are more than worth the additional investment.
Our small business internet solutions prioritize your business's internet needs to ensure you always receive the priority treatment necessary to remain competitive. For more information on WOW! Business internet, please contact us now.
Dedicated internet access (DIA) is a service we offer businesses that provides your business with a private internet connection. You don’t have to share the internet with your neighbors when you choose DIA. Using ethernet or fiber cables, WOW! Business DIA delivers the availability and responsiveness your business requires to stay ahead of the pack.
Dedicated business internet is ideal for businesses that require a fast, reliable internet connection. This kind of connection is high-performing with low latency and jitters - perfect for running multiple applications, handling numerous phone calls and video calls, and keeping your team on top of whatever challenges arise.
The demand for increased bandwidth just keeps growing. More and more data is required to do business and the apps and services you require need plenty of bandwidth to operate. If your business needs to be consistently available, such as if you operate an e-commerce business, you need to know that your network is always operating as intended.
These are all things that a consumer-grade internet connection isn’t necessarily able to provide. Even a business-level plan - while offering more than a consumer-grade internet connection - can still require you to share your connection with others in your vicinity. Only a dedicated business internet connection can provide the level of service that some businesses need to achieve their goals.
Some of the benefits of dedicated business internet services include:
Enterprise internet services with dedicated lines are the ultimate in reliability. Because your business is the only one using the connection, you don’t have to worry about anyone interrupting your service by sucking up all of your bandwidth. Business internet services you depend on will be available all of the time, except if an outage hits the overall area.
This kind of reliability is especially important when your business needs to be there for customers. E-commerce businesses in particular can benefit greatly from dedicated business internet services because they want to be able to sell products 24/7.
WOW! Business offers dedicated internet at up to 10 Gig speeds! That’s incredibly fast and capable of handling just about anything you can throw at it. For businesses big and small, the kind of speed you can achieve with a dedicated line is more than enough to keep operations going smoothly.
Faster speeds help your organization avoid unnecessary downtime and frustrating losses of access and time. Remember, these speeds are simultaneous as well, which means that both uploads and downloads can happen equally fast. Most businesses need to perform data backups regularly and often require uploads to share information.
Having fast uploads is as important for many businesses as having fast downloads and dedicated internet delivers on both fronts.
Keeping your internet connection to yourself is an excellent way to enhance the security of your data. Since you are not sharing your connection with anyone else, you are less vulnerable to certain types of security breaches. This doesn’t mean you can dispense with all security measures - there are plenty of other ways cybercriminals can steal data. But it does put an additional layer of protection up for your business.
Our dedicated internet clients get premium technical support. The problems you experience should be relatively rare, but when they do happen, you have direct access to our most skilled technicians. If there is a problem, you can talk to a real person about it and get the help you need. We also provide expedited in-person tech support if something goes wrong physically with your dedicated connection.
There are so many benefits to choosing business internet for your organization. You don’t have to take our word for it, though. You can try it out for yourself!
Don't settle for consumer internet - invest in a dedicated business internet service that will power your small business forward. Contact us to learn more.
