What should you look for in the best internet for business?

You want an internet service that’s dependable, affordable, and fast enough to fit your needs. It should also have solid customer support that addresses your issues quickly, so day-to-day operations aren’t disrupted.

Also consider scalability. Can the internet service handle your growing company? Look for a service you can upgrade (or downgrade) as needed without the hefty fees.

Security and stability are two other important factors to consider. An internet provider should have tools in place to shield your business against malware, spyware, and hackers. It should also include a backup connection, so your online services don’t go dark during an unforeseen server crash.

How much speed do you need?

We provide a table further down this article that recommends the speed you should select based on the number of employees in your business. Also, consider any guests who will access your internet connection—like patients, shoppers, and so on.

Verizon Fios is the best internet for business. It offers symmetrical speeds, so your upload speeds match your downloads. That’s an important feature to consider if you upload large files to a remote server throughout the workweek.

However, Verizon Business requires a contract—one to three years, depending on the plan—whereas Spectrum Business does not. Yet Verizon’s fiber internet has equally fast upload and download speeds, while Spectrum’s cable internet does not. We suggest using fiber for the upload speed and reliability.

Verizon Business offers decent bundles too. The 940Mbps plan already includes one VoIP line, but you can add a VoIP line to its 200Mbps plan for $94 per month (with a two-year agreement). Verizon also offers internet and TV bundles for business—great for showing local channels to customers—and bundles that combine all three into one reduced package.
