Is dedicated fiber internet worth it?

The internet is how you connect. It’s how you work. It’s how you check email, video chat with friends, followers and colleagues, and get the latest news. And it can be really annoying when your connection is slow, or worse: out completely.

When it comes to your business, struggling with your internet connection is far more than just an inconvenience. It can slow down your employees’ productivity. It can lead to a bad experience for customers who trust you with their business. And if you don’t have the right connection for you and your organization, it can bring your whole operation to a grinding halt.

What is dedicated fiber?

Dedicated fiber is just what it sounds like: a dedicated internet connection solely for your business. It’s like driving down a highway that belongs to you – and you alone. There’s no one else clogging up the lanes or causing backups or traffic jams. It’s just smooth sailing all day, every day. 

Who needs dedicated fiber internet?

That’s a good question, and the answer is… it depends!

One important factor to consider is how much internet demand you have on a daily basis.

• Do your employees require the internet to do their jobs, or could they continue working even if the internet went out?
• Would you be able to deliver the services your customers count on, or would your whole operation stop without a solid connection?
• Do you have remote employees who rely on a VPN to stay connected?
• Are cloud-based services integral to your day-to-day operations? 

Or, to put it another way, how much money would internet downtime cost you, and how would that affect your ability to generate revenue? If the cost of internet downtime is too high, dedicated fiber would be a good fit for your business.

A dedicated fiber network isn’t only reliable in that it’s always working. It’s also a super speedy connection.

We all know what it’s like to try to upload or download a document… only to be met with the spinning ball of death and no option except to sit and wait for it to finish. 

With a dedicated fiber network, those days are a thing of the past. Your upload and download speed are the same, and (you guessed it!) they’re both super-fast. That means less time twiddling your thumbs and more time getting things done.
