Business internet pricing is hyper-local. Two companies in the same city \xE2\x80\x94 even the same building \xE2\x80\x94 can pay very different rates. Here's what's behind that.
The Local Factors
- Carrier density: more providers serving your address means more competition and lower prices. Some addresses have one option; others have a dozen.
- Building infrastructure: a "lit" building with fiber already present is cheap to serve; one needing construction is not.
- Proximity to fiber: how far the nearest fiber is from your door affects build cost.
- Local construction/permitting: trenching and permit costs vary by city and even by street.
Why "average" prices mislead: national or city-average pricing tells you little, because your actual price depends on what's serviceable at your specific address.
