Business Internet at Home

Being able to choose the right internet service provider for your home leaves you with innumerable choices. But the considerations and the timing for plans must feel scalable and agile enough to switch accordingly. But when exactly is the right time for you to choose a business internet connection and why must you pay the extra bucks?

Here are a few questions that you can ask yourself for starters:

  • Do I need a data cap?
  • How many MPBP/GBPS do I need?
  • How many devices are connected to my home network?
  • Am I suffering from recurrent lags and latency issues?
  • Is my plan cost-effective?
  • Can my small business run on vanilla residential broadband connection?

Business Internet Vs Residential Internet

The answer to those questions will largely vary but let’s start with sensitizing you about the options you currently have. So, if you have a home office or a self-employed resident at your home, you’ll know when and why to consider a business internet service provider.

  • Business Internet typically refers to internet connectivity dedicated to a business landscape. The download and upload speed are faster, they have robust customer service support and zero downtime. So, it comes with a higher price tag. A leased line for the home can be a great example that renders close to being a business-grade connection ideal for the home.
  • Residential Internet is what you may call the quintessential vanilla broadband experience. The speeds offered are asymmetrical which leaves to unstable download/upload speed. The price tag is lower than business-grade connectivity - but the cons can always outweigh the price tag.
