With all the options available, it can, however, be difficult to decide what form of internet access is best for your organization. What are the advantages of fiber internet? Of fixed wireless internet? In the past, the high-end default option was fiber. Now, installing fixed wireless internet should be given a closer look. 

Your internet connection is one of the most vital business decisions you can make. There's just no two ways about it; from video conferences to emails to research to even a cute cat video break, you need the right kind of internet connection. Getting the most out of internet providers, therefore, becomes crucial to overall operations. But what should you be looking for?

Not all internet bandwidth is created equally, and there are some key questions decision-makers should ask when selecting an internet service for their businesses.

• The reputation of the provider
• If they have any previous experience with the provider
• Feedback from peers on a particular provider
• Cost

These unexpected charges can be significant and potentially delay the install.

There are many reasons to use fixed wireless service. If you're considering utilizing it for your business, there are a few things you need to know.
