Cable Internet for Business

Selecting the best cable internet provider is crucial part before starting up your business.

The speed of uploading and downloading a file to and from the internet may affect every transaction of your business and the whole business itself.

Normally, most of the telecommunication companies in your area can also offer internet connections like broadband (canopy style or wireless), DSL, Dial-up (using cards), and cables. Knowing the company and what they can offer will be your guide in finalizing your decision.

Why Choose Cable Internet Connection for Business?

Unlike some DSL connection and Dial-up, in cable internet connection you can both surf the internet and use your telephone line simultaneously. Your connection is always on and cannot be interrupted when somebody reach you over your landline.

Compare with Dial-up, cable internet is up to 70 times faster. However, cable internet connection will cost you a little bit more than the ordinary Dial-up connection but it really worth the cost.

Things to Consider in Choosing Best Cable Internet in Your Area:

  • Know how fast your internet provider can download and upload files. Some of the best Cable Internet provider can upload files ranging from the speed of 384 kbps to 3Mbps and download files from 8Mbps to 20Mbps depending on the capacity of the provider.
  • Determine what your business particularly need so you can choose up to what speed of cable internet provider you are going to subscribe with, e.g. you are going to open an internet café which is so particular with online games so you will need a faster speed internet cable provider.
  • Know the monthly and the one-time charge during the connection. You should not be satisfied with the lowest price deal with regards to internet connection. Lower cost doesn’t mean the best deal. Check the whole package and see if the price really worth it.
  • Get more information about the features. Cable internet requires specific hardware. Check your computer set both its hardware and the software installed if it meets the requirement of the provider.
  • As possible try to talk with the customer service and ask all necessary information you would like to know about what the company can offer your business and if they can be accessed easily when service interruption comes. Try to understand the technical side of the cable provider.

  • You may also get the best of the cable providers’ package. They sometime do offer cable internet connection with landline package. Catching two birds in one shot. This will be an advantage to your savings.
  • Other companies offer a one-month free trial. This may take some time, but try to make use of it for a couple of days or a week so you will see the capacity of the provider. This is free of charge so there’s no worry of additional fees.
