Small business internet

Small business internet, explained simply.

How much speed you need depends on how many people and devices share the connection, and what they do. Here is a simple way to think about it.

Check availability

A quick way to estimate

These are general guidelines, not a guarantee. Your provider can help size a plan for your location.

  • Card readers, email and browsing: light use. Most fiber plans are more than enough.
  • Internet phone calls: each active call needs a small but steady connection. Upload speed and stability matter more than raw speed.
  • Video meetings, cloud backups and large uploads: heavier use. Look for strong upload speeds.
  • Guest Wi-Fi: plan for your busiest hour, not an average one.

Checklist before you sign up

  • Check if there is an annual contract or early termination fee.
  • Ask what equipment is included and who supports it.
  • Ask about installation time and fees.
  • Plan a backup, such as a phone hotspot, for card payments during an outage.
