Dedicated Internet Access

Dedicated Internet Service

Dedicated Internet Access is a business-class connection providing the highest quality bandwidth, reliability, and performance available. Companies that require this consistent performance and high Quality of Service (QoS) for applications are typical customers of dedicated Internet service. Most dedicated Internet connections are sold by telecom carriers and Internet service providers (ISPs) as dedicated fiber Internet or Ethernet Internet access.

One of the major benefits of a dedicated Internet access line versus traditional Internet connections (Cable, DSL, Wireless) lies in the amount of bandwidth available. A traditional Internet connection is a shared network with “best effort” service, unlike a dedicated connection, which comes with service-level guarantees (SLA). With a best effort connection, the ISP will do its best to provide you with the 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. This is because these shared network connections are oversubscribed. Internet users connect at different times of the day, so when a larger-than-anticipated number of users are using the same connection, performance suffers for everyone with a shared network connection.

Bandwidth with a dedicated Internet access 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. Low latency, packet loss, and jitter are all benefits of a dedicated Internet connection and are guaranteed.  This makes dedicated Internet service the right choice for cloud-based applications, SD WAN, video, VoIP services, or businesses that need a highly reliable network connection. Dedicated Internet Access is also known as Dedicated Internet Line, Dedicated Internet Connection, Dedicated Fiber Internet, or Ethernet Dedicated Internet.
