Why Direct Internet Access (DIA) May Be the Perfect Solution for Your Business
DIA connections give you more bandwidth than most leased lines. You still have to buy your connection from a cable or phone company, but you get more capacity.
Leased lines are sold by companies like Qwest, Verizon and others as a way to make money on unused capacity. They don’t want you to use all of your leased line’s bandwidth because they lose money when that happens.
That said, buying a large amount of unused capacity can be expensive — think hundreds or thousands of dollars per month. Be careful how much you buy.
DIA Internet Offers More Flexibility than Leased Lines
In addition to greater bandwidth and lower costs, DIA internet offers businesses a number of other advantages over leased lines.
For instance, installing DIA is often easier than setting up leased lines. The service can be run through existing phone and cable lines.
Additionally, some DIA internet services (such as DSL) are available almost anywhere you live or work. This means it’s relatively easy to find an Internet provider who can provide a connection that matches your business needs.
