• Buying Criteria
  • Performance
    • Performance is the top concern of Dedicated Internet Access users. Companies do not want their traffic bogged down in bottlenecks, and they can monitor performance online with some vendors, so performance is increasingly transparent.
  • Coverage
    • Coverage is a priority for customers. Companies are looking for extensive national, regional and global coverage capabilities from a single provider which can support all of their data communication requirements. A one-stop-shop approach can provide customers with greater cost-savings through a flexible pay-as-you-grow offer. It can also help to ensure strong service level agreements are enabled through a fully-managed service with extensive coverage.
  • Supplemental Service
    • Supplemental services are important for customers looking for DNS, e-mail relay systems, VoIP, IP Sec, online monitoring tools, co-location and CPE to provide greater flexibility, higher performance and security. Customers are increasingly looking for a single provider to manage their data communication needs.
