How Much Does Metro-E Cost?
While we talked about 4 different types of popular internet connections, we didn't talk about the costs for small and medium sized companies.
As you can see above, the Metro-E is the most expensive and having a business fork over this amount of money every month just for an internet connection that only costs $45 at home is sometimes difficult.
I would like to make a few points. First, Metro-E's are dedicated connections. Again, this means they never go out. This is huge for a business that determines an internet connection is vital to the mission of the business.
Let me help you determine if the cost is worth it for your business. Use your imagination. Let's say your have an office of 10 people. And the internet goes out. It's out for 5 hours. How much did that cost you in terms of labor and lost productivity? Did you lose a client? Did someone not get paid through accounting? Did an employee talk on the phone and pass to a client that "they always have internet problems" putting a bad mark in the client's mind?
At what point does it make sense for the business to sign a 36 month contract for this type of internet service? This is something that only you can determine.
