Comparing live pricing and terms from 400+ carriers and platforms
Address-level DIA and cable compare at your Columbus building—not Buckeye Broadband. $0 advisory; you pay the carrier at the same price as going direct. How-to for every location: compare business fiber quotes. See Ohio pricing bands, why the same building gets six fiber quotes, and why we are not Buckeye Broadband.
We know which carriers actually deliver on time at which addresses, what to ask for that the rep will not volunteer, where the contract gotchas hide, and when promo pricing rolls to retail.
The underlying carrier pays us a small residual, and we publish exactly how. You pay the carrier directly, and your quote is the same whether you go through us or direct.
We do not own a network. We shop 400+ carriers and platforms at the address, and you sign in your name. Coverage is quoting, not a footprint. If you landed here looking for a cable bill or a Toledo-area outage, you have the wrong company: this page explains.
Who we quote most often for business internet in Ohio. The shop is 400+ at the address, including regional fiber the national reps skip.
DIA, cable, and fixed wireless are three different products. Who each is for depends on the building, and on what happens if the circuit drops.
Symmetric, guaranteed, SLA-backed. Primary at any location that cannot wait: cloud apps, voice, multi-user offices, plants, clinics. Published Ohio DIA bands live on the pricing page.
Asymmetric, shared, best-effort. Higher advertised speed, usually a promo term, then a retail cliff. Right as an SMB primary where an outage is inconvenient, not existential, and as failover beside DIA. Quoted at the address.
Path diversity from fiber and cable, or the option when ground fiber is not in. Strong backup where coverage is real; a primary only where we can prove the path. Pair DIA plus wireless under SD-WAN so a site is not betting on one last mile.
| Connection type | What it is best for | Ohio cost notes |
|---|---|---|
| Dedicated fiber (DIA) | Symmetric, SLA-backed bandwidth. Primary at any location that cannot wait. | Published 36-mo sample: 100 Mbps $525–$1,150; 1 Gbps $695–$1,650 |
| Business cable | Higher speed at lower cost on shared bandwidth. SMB primary or failover. | Quoted at the address |
| Fixed wireless | True path diversity from fiber and cable, or buildings without ground fiber. | Quoted at the address |
| 5G FWA | Strong backup anywhere, primary where coverage is good. | Quoted at the address |
| SD-WAN overlay | Bonding multiple links into one resilient, prioritized connection. | Per site, quoted with design |
| Dark fiber | Dedicated strands for high-capacity, campus, or carrier-grade needs. | Quoted per build |
DIA dollars in the table are the published 36-month Ohio sample, not a quote for your building. Send the address.
Term, install, SLA credits, and oversubscription. Ask all four, in writing, before the order form. We do this on every circuit we source.
How many months, what it rolls to, and the notice window. Promo pricing that looks cheap at month one often jumps at month 13 if nobody is watching.
Already lit, or a construction job? Interval, landlord access, and who pays the build. Published Ohio construction notes: $500–$5,000+ one-time, or amortized into a longer term.
99.9% is a credit schedule, not a promise the circuit never drops. Who files, how many days you have, and whether chronic outages stack. Read what the carrier actually owes you before you sign.
Dedicated means you bought that bandwidth. Shared means you share it with the building, the node, or the neighborhood. Cable is shared. DIA is not. If the quote will not say which, it is shared.
We compare every carrier serving each address — fiber, cable, fixed wireless — and quote what actually fits.
Primary plus automatic 4G/5G backup is installed, so an outage no longer stops the business.
Every location runs on right-sized, redundant internet, managed by one team instead of five providers.
A new DIA or cable circuit does not replace a fire panel, an elevator phone, or an analog life-safety line. Those are listed products, with the AHJ involved. Data is this page. Analog and copper retirement is POTS replacement.
They told us which carrier was already lit in the building before anyone quoted a six-week construction job.
No deck, no discovery engagement, no obligation. You deal with the principal from the first call.
