Enterprise internet provider

Choosing the right provider for your enterprise internet

Internet connectivity is essential to nearly every aspect of your business – from productivity and operations to communications and customer experiences. Yet, connectivity options variety greatly in speed, bandwidth and cost, making it critical to find enterprise internet services that balance quality and cost efficiency.

That’s where choosing the right provider for your enterprise internet services is essential. The best providers offer both high-performance dedicated fiber connections as well as reliable enterprise internet options for businesses looking for connectivity that is both fast and cost-effective.

As a leading provider of secure fiber internet connectivity, Spectrum Business offers a full portfolio of connectivity options. To our suite of fast fiber connections, we’ve added fast and cost-effective Enterprise Internet service. With Enterprise Internet, businesses that don’t require superfast speeds for data-intensive applications or real-time communications can confidently connect to the internet while significantly minimizing costs.

The benefits of a shared connection

As an enterprise internet provider, our Enterprise Internet service enables us to better serve all our customers with a range of connectivity solutions. By offering an option for internet services over a shared connection, we can provide best-in-class experiences for any use case, helping our customers to achieve lower total cost of ownership (TCO).

Depending on your internet needs, a shared connection may offer several benefits over more expensive, dedicated connectivity.

• Cost efficiency: Shared connections tend to be more affordable, allowing you to allocate funds to other important areas without sacrificing internet connectivity.
• Easier vendor management: With a shared Enterprise Internet connection from Spectrum Business that’s bundled with other enterprise services for voice, collaboration, networking and security, you can reduce the complexity of managing multiple service providers.
• Compatibility: Shared connections can work well with older phone systems or LAN/WAN equipment, minimizing the need for immediate, costly replacements.
• Right-sized connectivity: Our shared plans come with a range of bandwidth options, so you can match your plan to your specific needs without paying for excess capacity.

FAQs

What is a shared vs. dedicated internet connection?

A dedicated internet connection provides a private, direct line from a service provider to the business, so that bandwidth is not shared by other users or customers. A shared, or non-dedicated, internet connection means that multiple users share the same bandwidth, possibly resulting in slower speeds during peak usage times.

What are the benefits of a shared connection?

Shared connections are more affordable than dedicated connections, allowing businesses that aren’t running data-intensive applications to save money on the cost of connectivity.

What types of applications require a dedicated connection?

Dedicated connections are best for applications that rely on split-second timing, real-time communication or massive data transfers. Applications that can handle variable speeds and occasional slowdowns – such as web browsers, email clients, CRM systems and productivity suites – tend to work well on a shared connection.
