Broadband / Cable Internet
Cost-effective internet for standard business needs and secondary connections
What it is
Business broadband and cable internet provide solid connectivity at lower cost than dedicated circuits, making them appropriate for smaller offices, retail locations, remote sites, or as secondary backup connections. Business-grade broadband typically includes static IP addresses, higher upload speeds than consumer plans, and business support with faster response times. While bandwidth is shared and speeds are not guaranteed, modern cable infrastructure delivers reliable performance for standard business use.
Why it matters
Not every location needs dedicated fiber. Smart connectivity means right-sizing each site to its actual requirements. Broadband at a branch office paired with dedicated internet at headquarters can provide excellent performance at a fraction of the cost of dedicated circuits everywhere.
What to expect
Business broadband is typically available with quick installation timelines of one to two weeks. It can serve as a primary connection for smaller sites or as a cost-effective failover connection for sites with dedicated primary circuits.

Common questions
Can we use broadband for VoIP?
Yes, with caveats. Business broadband usually supports VoIP well, but quality can degrade during peak usage periods since bandwidth is shared. QoS settings and a separate VLAN for voice traffic help ensure call quality.
