Dedicated internet access (DIA) is a private, symmetrical fiber connection with guaranteed bandwidth and a service level agreement, so the speed you buy is the speed you get at all hours.
Who dedicated Internet Access is best for
This service is a strong fit for organizations that run cloud applications, voice, video or customer-facing systems and cannot tolerate slowdowns. The right provider and design depend on your locations, applications and tolerance for downtime, which is where an independent comparison pays off.
What to evaluate before you buy
- Whether the building is already on-net or needs construction
- Committed speed and burstable options
- Service level agreement terms for uptime, latency and repair time
- Route diversity from your other circuits
How Connectivity Counsel helps
We begin with your requirements rather than a product. Our advisors document your sites and goals, identify which providers can deliver dedicated Internet Access at your addresses, gather pricing, and present the options in a consistent format. We then support the contract, the installation and any escalation afterward. There is no charge to you for this work.

Frequently asked questions
What is dedicated Internet Access?
Dedicated internet access (DIA) is a private, symmetrical fiber connection with guaranteed bandwidth and a service level agreement, so the speed you buy is the speed you get at all hours.
How much does dedicated Internet Access cost?
Pricing depends on your locations, capacity or user counts, contract term and the provider. Connectivity Counsel gathers quotes from multiple providers for your exact requirements so you can compare real numbers instead of list prices.
How do I choose a provider for dedicated Internet Access?
Compare providers on whether the building is already on-net or needs construction, committed speed and burstable options and service level agreement terms for uptime, latency and repair time. An independent advisor can run that comparison for you and explain the trade-offs.
How long does it take to implement dedicated Internet Access?
Timelines range from a few days for cloud and wireless services to several months where network construction is required. We give you a realistic schedule for each option before you sign and track the installation afterward.
Does it cost anything to use Connectivity Counsel for dedicated Internet Access?
No. Connectivity Counsel does not charge clients for advisory, quoting or ordering support. Providers compensate us when you choose their service, and you pay the provider directly under the provider's own contract and pricing.
Is Connectivity Counsel tied to a single provider?
No. Connectivity Counsel is an independent advisor with a portfolio of more than 230 providers. Recommendations are based on your addresses, requirements, budget and timeline, and we show you competing options side by side.
