Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) is a scalable “always on” solution that provides a fast, secure, and reliable internet connection. As an “always on” connection, DIA connects directly to the core equipment of Internet providers, and is not shared or aggregated with other business clients. This allows for greater network performance and scalability compared to DSL, or any kind of switched service, making it ideal for companies with heavy Internet use and multiple users as well as those who run their own servers or use high-bandwidth applications, such as e-commerce.

If the Internet is the lifeblood of your business, then our partners have the bandwidth and reliability to meet your growing needs, with DIA speeds ranging from 1.5 to 10,000 Mbps.

When choosing a DIA service there are many things to keep in mind, including your budget, the connectivity and bandwidth needs of your company, the type of network applications that are most frequently used, and the future plans of your enterprise. The top choice of DIA among larger corporations continues to be traditional leased lines; however, the market share continues to decrease due to the availability of inexpensive alternative solutions, such as bonded DSL and Ethernet circuits. These different options offer similar performance at a greatly reduced cost as well as a simplified infrastructure installation.
