From backup solutions like 4G LTE or Fixed Wireless to digital marketing, EarthLink Business provides a suite of services designed to complement your Business Fiber plan and ensure your business stays ahead.
Business Fiber internet is a high-speed internet service delivered over fiber infrastructure and designed for commercial use. Unlike residential broadband, Business Fiber plans are built around the reliability, throughput, and support requirements of professional environments and teams that rely on cloud platforms, VoIP systems, video conferencing, and hosted applications throughout the workday. EarthLink Business Fiber ranges from 50 Mbps to 5 Gbps and includes flexible contract options suited to businesses at different stages of growth.*
The key difference is how the connection is structured. Business Fiber uses shared fiber infrastructure, similar to how residential fiber works. Dedicated fiber gives your business a private line that is not shared with any other customer. Dedicated fiber delivers guaranteed symmetrical speeds and typically includes a higher-tier SLA, making it better suited for mission-critical operations. Business Fiber is a cost-effective alternative for teams that need high-speed fiber without the price premium of a dedicated line.
EarthLink Business Fiber plans range from 50 Mbps to 5 Gbps, depending on location and the plan selected.* Speed availability varies by service area. For most small and mid-sized businesses, plans at 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps provide enough throughput for cloud platforms, video conferencing, file sharing, and multi-user environments running concurrently. Larger organizations with high-density user environments or data-intensive workloads may benefit from the 5 Gbps tier. An EarthLink Business specialist can confirm available speeds at your address.
Yes. EarthLink Business Fiber runs on fiber infrastructure, which is faster and more consistent than both DSL and traditional cable connections. DSL uses copper telephone lines, which degrade in speed over longer distances. Cable shares bandwidth across a neighborhood node, which means speeds can drop during peak-use periods. Fiber-based broadband transmits data as light signals over dedicated fiber lines, which eliminates distance-related degradation and reduces the impact of congestion compared to copper-based connections.
EarthLink Business Fiber offers flexible contract terms, which means businesses are not required to commit to a long multi-year agreement to access fiber-based service. Flexible contract options are particularly useful for growing businesses whose bandwidth needs may change, or for organizations that want to evaluate service before committing long-term. Contact an EarthLink Business specialist to discuss available terms at your location.
Yes. EarthLink Business offers backup internet solutions that can be added to any broadband plan. Fixed wireless backup provides automatic failover to a dedicated wireless connection if the primary broadband service goes down. 4G LTE backup uses a cellular connection as a secondary failover layer. Both options are designed to minimize downtime for businesses where internet continuity is critical—such as retail operations, healthcare facilities, or remote offices. Ask your EarthLink account manager about adding a backup solution to your plan.
EarthLink Business specialists can quickly verify broadband availability in your area and guide you in selecting the most ideal speed tailored to your team size, workload, and operational needs. With plans ranging from 50 Mbps to 5 Gbps, you’ll benefit from flexible contract options* designed to scale with your business.
