Why It Matters Before You Sign
If a space can't get adequate business internet \xE2\x80\x94 or only from one mediocre provider, or only after a costly months-long build \xE2\x80\x94 that's a real cost and risk you want to know about before committing, not after.
Questions to Ask

- Where's the demarcation point, and who runs cable to my suite?
- What's the realistic install timeline?
