How to read this guide: the figures below are typical 2026 U.S. market ranges based on our experience brokering across 200+ carriers. Business internet pricing is address-specific and negotiated, so your exact rate depends on what's serviceable at your location, your contract term, and the SLA. Use these as planning ranges, not quotes — then get a free bill review for real numbers at your address.
Quick Reference: Typical Monthly Ranges
| Service type | Typical monthly range | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Cable / coax broadband | $80 – $300 | Small offices, secondary/backup |
| Fiber broadband (shared) | $100 – $500 | Most offices; cloud/video use |
| Fixed wireless / 5G | $100 – $500 | Hard-to-serve sites, fast deploy, backup |
| Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) | $300 – $2,000+ | Uptime-critical sites needing an SLA |
| SD-WAN (per site, managed) | $150 – $600+ | Multi-location networks |
| VoIP / UCaaS (per user) | $15 – $65 | Cloud phone & communications |
Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) by Speed
DIA is priced for guaranteed, symmetrical bandwidth backed by an SLA, so it carries a premium over best-effort broadband. Typical ranges:
| Speed (symmetrical) | Typical monthly range |
|---|---|
| 10 Mbps | $150 – $350 |
| 50 Mbps | $250 – $500 |
| 100 Mbps | $300 – $700 |
| 500 Mbps | $500 – $1,200 |
| 1 Gbps | $700 – $2,000 |
The same circuit can sit at opposite ends of these ranges depending on carrier and address — which is exactly why competitive quotes matter. See DIA pricing explained.
What Drives Your Price
- Building status: a "lit" building with existing fiber is cheap to serve; one needing construction is not. See how fiber gets built.
- Local competition: more carriers at your address means better pricing. See what drives prices in your city.
- Service tier & CIR: dedicated/guaranteed bandwidth costs more than shared.
- Contract term: longer terms lower the monthly rate.
- SLA level: stronger uptime/repair commitments can add cost.
Don't Forget the Add-Ons
The headline rate isn't the whole bill. Watch for installation/activation fees, equipment rental, static IP charges, and auto-renewal increases — see the hidden fees in internet contracts and how to read a quote line by line.
