Business Fiber Optic Internet for Spokane, Spokane Valley, & Liberty Lake

fiber optic internet spokaneBusiness fiber optic Internet in the Spokane and Coeur d’Alene area is growing in popularity due to its reliability and speed. Many buildings in Spokane, Spokane Valley, and Liberty Lake already have fiber optic connections, leading to shorter installation times, faster activation, and lower pricing.

Fiber optic Internet is delivered over an optical cable directly to your location, providing dedicated, high-speed Internet. Unlike shared connections, fiber ensures you get exclusive bandwidth for your business.

Business-grade fiber optic Internet service almost always includes a Service Level Agreement (SLA), which guarantees performance metrics such as packet delivery, uptime, latency, and repair time. These benefits are crucial for businesses that rely on high-speed Internet and cannot afford bandwidth issues or downtime.

While fiber optic Internet is typically one of the more expensive business Internet options, this cost reflects factors like construction, uptime commitments, service quality, and dedicated bandwidth. In many cases, construction costs can be waived with a term commitment.

Fiber is an excellent choice for growing businesses and those with high real-time traffic needs, such as video conferencing, VoIP phones, or symmetrical bandwidth requirements (equal upload and download speeds). It also offers scalability, allowing businesses to upgrade from 50Mbps to 100Gbps as needed. While fiber is ideal for businesses, home Internet services are generally better suited for residential use.

While Business Standard Fiber Internet offers excellent speed and reliability, businesses that require no downtime and guaranteed repair times may need Enterprise Fiber Internet, which provides dedicated bandwidth and enhanced support.

Cable Internet​ Vs Fiber Optic Internet

Cable Internet is provided over coaxial cable, the same cable that is used by television providers. It provides good scalability in most areas, and generally has low monthly and upfront costs.

Cable Internet bandwidth is shared at your neighborhood or area node with others in your area. While this generally does not pose an issue, at times of high congestion, you may see your peak speeds degraded some. More recently, cable Internet providers are over provisioning the speeds to your modem by 10-20%. This helps to ensure that you achieve your advertised speeds.

While coaxial cable is capable of achieving speeds of 1Gbps, most areas have not deployed these technologies as of yet. Typical speeds range from 10Mbps to 300Mbps. Upload and download speeds are usually asymmetrical where the upload speeds are a fraction of the download speeds (usually 1/10th to 1/3rd.)

For many small to medium businesses, cable is the go to service because of its value, quick installation times, and service availability versus DSL and fiber. It is also used as a backup for many businesses with larger primary connections.

Serving Spokane, Coeur d’Alene, Post Falls, and Hayden areas.
Fiber optic Internet is an Internet service that is delivered over an optical cable using light to deliver services. One of the biggest benefits to fiber is its ability to easily scale to nearly any speed a carrier is capable of delivering without additional equipment.

Business grade fiber services almost always come with a service level agreement or SLA. An SLA is a guarantee to meet certain targets such as uptime, packet delivery, latency, and repair time. For businesses that depend on Internet services and cannot afford downtime or bandwidth quality issues, these are important to have.

Fiber tends to be one of the more expensive business Internet services due in part to construction costs, the service quality and uptime commitments, and the dedicated nature of the bandwidth. In many cases, construction costs can be absorbed with a term commitment.

Fiber is an excellent choice for rapidly growing businesses, those that have a large amount of real-time traffic such as VoIP or video conferencing, or businesses with symmetrical (same upload and download speed) bandwidth needs and makes the most sense for speeds from 50Mbps to 10Gbps.
