What is Business-Class Internet?If you’re looking for a reliable and fast internet connection for your business, you may want to consider investing in a business-class internet connection. Business-class internet is a high-speed connection designed to meet the demands of businesses that need reliable internet access for their operations. This type of connection is typically much faster than standard residential internet and can provide the necessary speeds and connection reliability that businesses require. Business-class internet is typically provided by larger ISPs and can come in a variety of packages with different speeds and features. Typically, these packages offer speeds between 10 Mbps and 1 Gbps, with some connections offering even higher speeds. These packages usually also include additional features such as static IP addresses, advanced security and more. One of the main advantages of business-class internet is the reliability and speed that it offers. With a business-class connection, your business can have reliable access to the internet at all times and ensure that any data transfers or downloads are completed quickly and efficiently. This can be especially beneficial for businesses that rely heavily on the internet for their operations. Additionally, business-class internet can also provide businesses with access to robust customer support services. These services can help businesses troubleshoot any problems they may be having with employee-facing and customer-facing systems. Is Business-Class Internet better than economy internet?Business-class internet is typically more reliable and faster than economy internet, but this can vary depending on the provider. Business-class internet typically includes features like higher upload and download speeds and more robust security, which may be beneficial for businesses that need to transfer large amounts of data or require secure connections. Additionally, business class internet generally has more flexible contracts and service-level agreements, which can provide businesses with more control over their connection.

In an increasingly internet-dependent world, businesses are now more than ever tasked with finding solutions that meet customer as well as in-house needs. Most companies have discovered meeting these needs is, in itself, not the issue. The challenge arises from needing to meet demands faster than the competition. In order to do this, businesses are forced to evaluate their internet services and how these services directly impact business capabilities, efficiency, deliverables, and revenue.
For those outside the tech realm, tech terminology can seem quite intimidating. This post is not intended to add to that confusion. Instead, we’re going to clearly break down all things Business Class Internet and why your business is at a disadvantage without it. Is Business Class Internet Really Necessary for my Business? The short answer to this question is that it’s really up to your business. However, there’s a reason (well, multiple reasons) most businesses utilize Business Class Internet. It’s even in the name after all! Business Class Internet, and other high level internet types, make all the difference in performance. Consider the following advantages of Business Class Internet on business performance:
Now, with the above reasons in mind, you tell me if you think Business Class Internet is worth it. Cost This is usually the deciding factor for businesses thinking about Business Class Internet, and it’s understandable. As good as something can sound in theory, if the price isn’t right then the discussion is over. That brings us to the big question: what is the cost of Business Class Internet? Well, there is no answer, or not a single one anyway. This is because Business Class Internet has average speeds anywhere from 50Mbps to 1GB and can range from $75/mo to $1,000+. This is due to the fact that there is no universal standard for Business Class Internet. It’s not a one size fits all solution because every business has unique needs. However, one of the advantages of working with Simplified Communications, is that, as an independent broker, we can put together an ideal package, utilizing the best services for the best prices available. For existing customers that really need to watch the spending, and you’ve been in your contract for 12-18 months, we may be able to reduce your costs. Not All Internet is Created Equal To determine the best internet for your business, it’s important to understand the totem pole of internet types. Residential/standard internet comes in at the bottom, with the lowest cost but restricted upload speeds and slow, best-effort service agreements that might make you want to pull your hair out. Business Class Internet is a huge step above residential with its ability to offer higher speeds and synchronous speeds for upload and downloads. Business Class Internet also often comes with a Static Internet Protocol (IP) address and improved service level agreements for quicker service, which means any internet problems that occur can be addressed swiftly. Then there is Enterprise Class Internet sitting atop of the totem pole. This is the internet solution for businesses who rely heavily on the internet. Enterprise Class Internet includes dedicated service, quality level service agreements offering same-day repair, and project management. Trying to decide between Business Class and Enterprise Class Internet? Know that dual connectivity is an option as well. This is a combination of Business Class and Enterprise Class Internet. Depending on the needs of your company, this might be the best fit for you! Reach out to our team to find out which service is best for your current trajectory and growth in your business! Business Class Internet Reliability When signing up for Business Class Internet, you will also sign a service level agreement that lays out the level of uptime and service you will receive. This is important because technology is not without issues. But having quick solutions and nearby customer service representatives goes a long way in addressing issues the same day and ensuring your Business Class Internet is functioning properly again in no time. Additionally, you will receive dedicated account managers and business specialists who monitor your network for both performance and security. Service level agreements will vary from carrier to carrier, but you are typically offered five minimum guarantees:
Another reason why Business Class Internet is regarded for its reliability is because it provides customers with a Static IP address. Your IP address is your network’s online address. A Static IP address is permanent, in contrast to a dynamic IP address that changes regularly. Most businesses request a Static IP because it makes their network both more secure and more reliable. This is important especially if you have employees working across various locations or you use a virtual private network (VPN).

What our clients are saying:
I went to Patrick when I was moving my company and needed to upgrade my internet and phone systems. It was great to work with him vs. going directly to one of the providers as he was able to find the best deal and recommend what I needed for the size of my company. Incredibly prompt communication and he was on it to hit all of our deadlines and push the providers when it seemed like things were going off track. Reed on the Simplified team was also great to work with when we needed help with installing access points in our office. I would recommend them to anyone looking for business internet or phone.
