Once you have an idea of which internet options are available in your zip code, the challenge is comparing offers to find the right fit for your business. Cheap internet is all well and good, but the budget option isn’t right for everyone.

Here are some of our top choices for business internet:

• Verizon: Best overall business ISP
• AT&T: Best customer service
• Spectrum: Best contract-free business ISP
• Viasat: Best rural business ISP
• Frontier: Best bundles for small business

Not sure which one is right for you? Here’s what you should consider when deciding between high-speed business internet providers.

Sure, we can talk all day about the pros and cons of Time Warner versus AT&T U-verse high-speed internet. But it doesn’t do you a lot of good if neither option is available where you do business.

Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are limited by the infrastructure in your area. Antitrust laws prevent ISPs from owning a monopoly on internet lines in any area, so the internet plans in your neighborhood can be completely different from the plans available in the next town over.

Businesses in rural areas may be especially affected by availability. Developers, government entities, and even ISPs are hesitant to install lines in remote areas due to cost. In that case, your business may have to use a satellite internet provider.

Long story short, a lot of factors can influence the business internet options in your area. So before you get too invested in any one provider, be sure to visit their website and enter your service address to get exact details on what’s available at your location.

Everyone wants the fastest internet options available. After all, faster speeds means faster work, and that means more efficiency, which means more profit.

The only problem is internet speeds can vary wildly even within a single zip code. For example, Frontier Business may offer speeds of up to 2,000 Mbps for the business park down the street but a maximum of only 150 Mbps for your office—all because the developer for your building didn’t spring for fiber-optic lines during construction.

Whatever’s available in your area, though, it’s important to pick a plan with the fastest speeds within your budget. While DSL and cable internet are both faster than satellite internet (satellite speeds are notoriously slow), fiber-optic lines offer the greatest speeds. But fiber-optic is also expensive, so don’t rule out DSL or cable internet without checking out what’s available in your price range. Your $50-per-month budget may actually go a lot further with a DSL connection than with fiber-optic.

You should also check which ISPs in your area impose data caps. The last thing you want is an internet provider that automatically cuts your speed in half if you exceed your data limit for the month—work in your office would grind to a halt. If all the providers in your area have data caps, we recommend signing up for the plan with the highest monthly cap.

Last tip: make sure to research business internet options, not residential. Businesses tend to use more bandwidth than the average home, so you’ll get different speeds and pricing options with a Comcast Business internet plan than you would with an Xfinity internet plan (since Xfinity is designed for residential customers, not businesses).

Want to know a secret? You can usually get cheap internet prices when you bundle with other services.

Satellite, DSL, cable, and fiber-optic lines can be used for not only internet connections but also TV and phone connections. As a result, many ISPs offer cable TV and phone services in addition to business internet—all available via your cable or Ethernet jack. Those ISPs then offer discounts for companies that bundle services into one plan.

Take Comcast Business, for example. In some areas, you can throw business TV and business phone services on top of 1GB business internet and pay only $25 more than you’d pay for 1GB internet alone. That saves you a lot of money compared to signing up for each service through a separate provider.

Since most offices need business phone service anyway, bundles are an important consideration for any company trying to minimize operating costs.

The right internet provider for your business isn’t always the cheapest (or even the fastest). While introductory pricing is important, so are installation costs, contract terms, equipment fees, upload speeds, and data caps. And don’t forget to check out each provider’s bundles and deals if your office needs business phone or TV service.

In the end, though, your options always depend on your location. So if you haven’t already, go ahead and enter your zip code above to see our recommended providers in your area.
