How to choose a provider for a business and not make a mistake

Let's talk about how to choose the Internet for business. What to pay attention to, how the Internet for business should differ from a household connection.
 

Connectivity Technology

Usually, users do not pay much attention to this and choose exclusively by megabits per second. But, for business, the technology of providing the Internet is very important. And that's why.

The Internet should be non-volatile for 2 reasons.

Firstly, an obvious guarantee that the business will not “stand up” due to blackouts or power outages, high load or breakdown on power lines.

Secondly, such Internet is supplied by a fiber-optic gigabit cable. This means that the Internet speed is up to 1 gigabit per second, even when several users are connected at the same time.

For example, there are several guest networks in the office, clients use Wi-Fi in the waiting room, and employees negotiate in Zoom. With such a load, the speed may drop, some device will take more traffic for itself.

Therefore, the provider must provide the business with the possibility of such a connection. For example, using GPON is a modern technology for providing the Internet directly from a provider to a specific user.
 

Speed Options and Tariff Flexibility

The more employees, the higher the chances that the required Internet speed will drop. For example, if the sales department uses IP-telephony. Many devices are constantly connected to the Internet, and the higher the load, the more likely it is that the speed will “cut off”.

The higher the speed, the more subscribers can use the Internet. You also need to consider that the real speed is always lower than the declared one. This is due to the fact that part of the traffic is lost simply along the way, and there may also be other congestion on the line.

Please note that ISP services may include different connection technologies, such as VLAN or GPON. The latter gives a more stable Internet, regardless of the number of connected devices. Therefore, it is more convenient for business.

To prevent this from happening, it is useful to make the Internet independent of electricity. Many people think that this is only important in case of blackouts. But it is not. The fact is that if the cable goes directly to the user, the reliability of the connection is higher and there is less chance of overloading the line.
 

Technique on the user's side

In order for the Internet to work perfectly throughout the office, it is not enough to choose an Internet provider. You need good equipment that will receive the Internet and distribute it correctly to all users.

It is good if you can purchase and configure equipment directly from the provider.

Many companies buy routers so that the Internet in business works stably. But this is a bug. For example, if you need to move to another floor of the office during negotiations, then when you switch from one router to another, the Internet will be cut off. Because Wi-fi in the phone needs to be switched from one router antenna to another.

It is more useful to choose a mesh system - this is a set of routers that create a range of coverage of the same signal throughout the territory. They can move without switching. These devices are installed throughout the office and the entire building receives Internet without switching.
 

Conclusion

Finding the right internet for your business is not that difficult. The main thing is that the Internet is independent of power supply systems, does not lose speed, regardless of traffic. It is critical for the operation of a business that nothing interferes with the operation of the network.
