Choosing the best ISP depends on the nature of the business, the service area, the amount of bandwidth you need, and speed among other things.

#1: Type of Internet Service

The two major types of connection are high availability service and standard. The standard (high-speed or broadband service) includes options like DSL and cable. It is cheaper and offers higher speed, the only problem is that it has lower quality and dependability of service.

The high availability service has a service level agreement which has a downtime of approximately 2 hours per year or an uptime of 99.99%. These two Internet services have options such as newer fiber optic (Metro E or Ethernet) and T1s.

What you need to take note of here is the Service Level Agreement and the right type of Internet connection for your business. If you don’t want to risk any form of interruption, make sure you choose a provider that can offer a Service Level Agreement that guarantees uptime.

#2: The speed of Your Internet Service

Also, if your applications are hosted in the cloud, are web-based, or you’re using VoIP phone system, your Internet usage may be higher. Business Internet packages Ottawa determine the right speed and connection needs for your business.

#3: Timeframe and Availability

Also, you need to know that there can be a very limited availability of cable and DSL Internet in these areas.
