When you’re choosing a broadband connection for your small business, the first fundamental choice you’ll make is whether to go for shared or dedicated internet access. As you’d expect, dedicated internet access is more expensive than shared internet access, because a single customer bears the entire cost of their connection.
With DIA there are rarely any such limitations, so your network can perform continuous file transfers (e.g. remote data backup), stream audio and video more smoothly, and deliver reliable cloud connectivity. With a best effort connection the ISP will do its best to provide you with your maximum amount of bandwidth, typically called the package speed. High network traffic, packet loss, latency, and outages prevent you from ever truly realizing the full speed of your Internet connection.


Dedicated internet access (DIA) agreements establish a private connection between an ISP and the customer’s premises. Also, dedicated Internet access lives up to its name, it provides you with a dedicated Internet service that will always perform at the specified maximum bandwidth, regardless of other Internet traffic conditions. Bandwidth with a dedicated Internet connection is always symmetrical, so upload and download speeds are the same. Also, dedicated Internet access lives up to its name, it provides you with a dedicated Internet service that will always perform at the specified maximum bandwidth, regardless of other Internet traffic conditions. If you are paying for a 1Gbps x 1Gbps speed, you will get that bandwidth, since your connection is not shared.
