Sensible internet is smart business.

It’s difficult to find service providers that fulfill the need for both consistency and practicality. It might come as a surprise, but faster doesn’t always mean better—fast internet isn’t always necessary for a business’s success and can cost more money than it’s worth. If your organization is on the smaller side, you’ve still got options.

A 3 Mbps plan from Verizon supports lone rangers, freelancers, remote workers and solopreneurs across the country, providing service for 1-2 devices through a dedicated DSL connection and static IP address. You’ll be able to keep up with projects and hit your deadlines, and your line is completely private. It’s the perfect speed for tasks such as:

Checking email
Maintaining documents and projects
Basic web browsing
Small file transfers
Invoicing

Not sure what kind of speed your business is getting, or what it truly needs? It’s worth finding out—the right speed can streamline your business and give you the support you need to keep your operations running smoothly.
