Dedicated Internet Access (DIA)

Business Internet solutions are shared within the local loop.  The bandwidth available to each user on a shared internet service fluctuates based on total usage from end-users within the local loop.  Shared internet typically has an up-time rating of 99%, equal 87.6 hours of downtime per year.

​

Shared internet is perfectly suitable for many businesses, however, for those whose profitability or reputation depends solely on their ability to remain connected, Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) may be a steadfast requirement.

​

DIA is not shared, which is why most carriers offer a Service Level Agreement for guaranteed up-time, bandwidth, and throughput.  Because this line is built from the vendor plant to the end-user premises, construction may be required, extending the lead-time to 30-90 days.  DIA has the highest speed capacity and is the most stable and reliable internet solution available to businesses.  DIA has an up-time rating of 99.9%, equal to 8.7 hours of downtime per year.

It is sometimes less expensive to have a second internet service for redundancy purposes, rather than make the jump to DIA.  Let us help you compare and save!
