SandyNet has introduced some incredible fiber connectivity deals for local businesses. Like residents, businesses can now get gigabit service for $60 per month and 100 Mbps for $40 per month. The utility also continues to offer enterprise connections, with rates established on a case-by-case basis.
Speeds are symmetrical which can be a critical factor for businesses that often must upload large amounts of data to work with clients.
Until SandyNet began to deploy the FTTH network, business customers that needed more bandwidth relied on the town’s dedicated Wi-Fi service which offered advertised speeds of up to 30 Mbps download, however, that cost $175 per month.
Smaller businesses could sign up for traditional Wi-Fi – the system residents also used – but speeds maxed out at only 5 Mbps or 10 Mbps download. Prices were $25 per month and $35 per month respectively.
Wi-Fi business customers can now make the switch to fiber for no extra fee. Those that are new customers to SandyNet will need to pay a one-time $350 connection fee.
