Short answer
Most small businesses should get business fiber (AT&T from $60/mo includes 5G backup) and add a cheap backup line if downtime costs you sales. You only need dedicated internet if you need guaranteed uptime in writing.

Frequently asked
Does my business need a static IP?
Only if people or devices need to reach your network from outside: a server, security cameras, remote desktop or some VoIP systems. Otherwise the regular dynamic IP that comes with your plan is fine. See static IPs and SLAs.
How much upload speed does a small business need?
About 100 Kbps per VoIP call, a few Mbps per video call, and more for cloud backups and file sharing. Fiber has matching upload speeds, which helps most. See business VoIP.
What should a small business set up besides internet?
Business-grade Wi-Fi with a separate guest network, a backup connection, a firewall, and a phone system. Our tech setup checklist walks through each step.
When do I need dedicated internet access?
When you need guaranteed bandwidth and uptime in writing, such as for a hotel, clinic or multi-site office. It is priced by quote.
