Business Grade Internet
Maximize efficiency with business-grade internet
In business, time is money. Unreliable internet can waste time, unnecessarily impacting your bottom line. That's where business grade services come in. Business grade means no compromises, with more robust and reliable capabilities to meet your company's needs, now and in the future. With business internet, you get the speed, bandwidth, and reliability required to support applications, teams, and operations—no matter your company's size.
What is broadband internet?
Broadband internet is a general term that describes high-speed internet delivered over coaxial cable, copper wire, or other connections. Fiber-optic internet is a fast and reliable broadband internet connection.
According to the FCC, broadband connection speeds must deliver download speeds of at least 25 megabits per second (Mbps) and uploads greater than 3 Mbps. These minimums may be insufficient for real-world business internet service applications, especially if you transfer large files or have a high-traffic office network.

Business fiber internet from Quantum Fiber
Fiber internet from Quantum Fiber can deliver significant advantages over early-generation connections like cable or copper wire. While business owners often see speed and reliability as the most essential benefits, fiber delivers other advantages as well.
Speed
Fiber internet provides multi-gig speeds up to 8 Gigs in select areas. Fiber is the next generation of fast, with upload speeds as much as 20 times faster than cable*. Gigspeed connections can support rapid file transfers, cloud backups, simultaneous multi-user video conferencing, VoIP, point-of-sale transaction systems, video and music streaming, and general business use for small and mid-sized teams. Fiber even lets you provide robust WiFi guest access for customers in your place of business without slowing your network speed.
*Comparison, as of 10/7/22, based on CenturyLink fiber technology with wired upload speeds of up to 940 Mbps to major cable providers’ 1GIG cable service over DOCSIS 3.1 technology with upload speeds of 35 Mbps.
Fast, secure cloud backups
Ultra-fast fiber internet speeds also enable automated cloud backups that could protect your data and your business. Many businesses follow a “321 backup” plan—three copies of all data with two stored on-site and one stored off-site—to ensure their data is secure and accessible in the event of a catastrophe or breach. With the rise in ransomware attacks and other destructive data breaches, many businesses have fortified their backup strategies by moving to a 3-2-1-1-0 or 4-3-2 methodology that adds redundancy, spreads data across more locations and cloud service providers, and isolates data by air-gapping it and making it inaccessible. Fiber internet provides ample bandwidth to support rapid backups to multiple cloud service providers.
Reliability
A stable, uninterrupted, and reliable business internet connection is critical for companies of all sizes. With so many cloud-based systems and functions, internet downtime can majorly impact operations, profitability, and customer service. Fiber internet from Quantum Fiber meets these demands with 99.9% reliability based on network uptime or availability. That means in any given year, your internet service will be available 24/7 with a total average downtime of less than nine hours.
Dedicated bandwidth
Fiber internet speeds are not slowed down by network congestion. Compare that to cable, which shares total bandwidth among users from different businesses and homes. Not only does this cause slowdowns during peak usage times, but it also reduces confidence in your connection and can limit bandwidth when you need it most.
Unlimited usage
Our fiber internet plans include unlimited data to support your business all day, every day. You won't have to deal with data caps, speed restrictions, or any other artificial or programmatic controls designed to regulate your company's usage.
360 WiFi® simplifies network management
Every business fiber internet subscription from Quantum Fiber includes 360 WiFi. Powered by fast WiFi 7 technology, you'll get the hardware you need to blanket your business space with next-level coverage. 360 WiFi is easy to configure using the Quantum Fiber app for iOS and Android. It’s intuitive and straightforward, so you don’t need advanced IT skills to manage it. The app guides you through network setup, helps you optimize the position of your WiFi pods, and allows you to:
- Control network access
- Prioritize devices or bandwidth needs
- Set up content restrictions
360 WiFi is smart technology that learns how traffic moves across your network. After initial setup, the system adjusts to help improve coverage where you need it most.
Connections, not commitments
Business internet plans can come with a hefty setup fee and a contract that lasts from 12 months to several years. And when you want to switch service providers, they may charge you termination fees. That's another way we’re different from all the others. When you get internet for business from Quantum Fiber, there are no annual contracts or commitments, and we even waive our modest installation fee for gigspeed customers.
Quantum Fiber puts business grade internet within reach for everyone. With no annual contracts, there’s no reason to compromise on speed, reliability, or service when you’ve got business to handle.
