The short answer
Business internet costs more than home internet, but it often comes with faster repairs, uptime promises and static IP addresses. Your price depends on the speed you need and what's available at your address.

What affects your business internet price
Price range
Prices vary a lot by address and provider, so we don't list one number. Not a quote or an offer. Your price comes from the provider.
What moves the number
- Type of connection. Fiber is usually fastest and most reliable. Cable is common. Fixed wireless and satellite fill gaps.
- Speed. Especially upload speed if you send big files or run video calls.
- Extras. Static IP addresses, backup connections and managed Wi-Fi.
- Contract length.
What to ask before you choose
- "What's the price after the promo ends?"
- "What upload speed do I get, not just download?"
- "Is there a service level agreement (SLA)?" An SLA is a written promise on uptime and repair times.
- "How long is the contract, and what does it cost to cancel early?"
- "Can I see your broadband label?" The FCC requires providers to show a label with price, speed and fees for many plans. Use it to compare.
The catch: that low first-year price often jumps in year two. Ask for the full price over the whole contract. And if the internet is key to your sales, think about a backup connection, like a cellular backup.
