Shared Business Fiber vs. Dedicated Internet Access (DIA)
Do you need a simple fast pipe, or an ironclad dedicated port? Shared broadband operates on an oversubscribed line where speed dips during peak neighborhood hours. Dedicated Access gives you 1:1 allocated backhaul port bandwidth, backed by financial SLAs and 24/7/365 US engineering triage.
| Feature Parameters | Dedicated (DIA) Fiber | Shared Business Fiber |
|---|---|---|
| Bandwidth Ratio | 1:1 Guaranteed (No Sharing) | Oversubscribed (Shared up to 1:32) |
| Upload Performance | Symmetrical (e.g. 500M Up / 500M Down) | Often Asymmetric (Standard Coax/DSL) |
| Uptime Guarantees | 99.999% SLA (Credit Refundable) | Best-Effort (No credits for downtime) |
| Repair (MTTR) | 4-Hour Maximum MTTR Commitment | Next Business Day (Variable) |
| IP Allocations | Static IP Block Included (/29 or /30) | Dynamic DHCP (Optional Static charge) |
| Cost Profile | Premium ($350 - $1,500/mo) | Budget-Friendly ($69 - $180/mo) |

Understanding the Demarcation and Installation Lifecycles
Business installations involve physical engineering milestones that don't exist in consumer setups. Understanding your **Demarcation Point (Demarc)**, planning riser cabling inside multi-tenant shafts, and securing structural landlord approvals are vital to avoiding costly delays or construction penalties.

Frequently Asked Telecom Procurement Questions
Clear technical definitions for IT directors, financial managers, and small business operators.
1What is Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) vs broadband?
Dedicated Internet Access allocates a private physical port on the carrier backhaul switch strictly to your business. It guarantees 100% of your purchased bandwidth (e.g., 500M down and 500M up are fully symmetrical at all hours) and is bound by a signed Service Level Agreement (SLA). Broadband business fiber is a shared oversubscribed circuit that is best-effort and often asymmetrical.
2How much does commercial fiber internet typically cost?
Shared business fiber costs between $69 and $250/month depending on speed. Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) prices typically start at $350/month for a 100M circuit and scale to $1,000 - $2,500/month for multi-gigabit setups. Costs depend heavily on exact building serviceability, contract length, and regional carrier competition.
3How long does physical commercial fiber installation take?
If your commercial office building is pre-wired (on-net), shared business fiber can be active in 5-10 business days. For Dedicated Internet (DIA), the timeline ranges from 30 to 90 days. This allows for site engineering surveys, vertical riser cabling, utility right-of-way licensing, and potential outdoor trenching work.
4Why does my medical or law office need a static IP address?
Static IPs provide your business with a permanent, un-changing digital address on the public web. This is a technical requirement for secure IPsec VPN tunnels supporting remote workers, hosting on-premises servers, accessing corporate databases, or operating commercial closed-circuit surveillance camera feeds.
