Guide to ISPs in Alabama

How to find ISP companies in Alabama to keep your business connected
By Emmet McMahan

An Alabama Internet service provider, or ISP, connects subscribers to the Internet in exchange for a fee. A national ISP will allow access to customers in much of the nation while a local ISP limits its customers to a specific geographical region.

A small business should consider a separate web hosting company to maintain its website instead of using the web space from the service that provides its access to the Internet in Alabama. Businesses with high-traffic sites may require a large national company that can provide mirroring and redundant connections for their websites.

The first consideration in deciding which of the ISPs in Alabama to use is the type of access you want:

1. Dial-up access is the slowest connection using a telephone line. You must dial in to the ISP, and frequently you'll have a limit on the amount of connection time you have.

2. Digital Subscriber Line, or DSL, access is available through the phone in most areas. DSL is faster than a dial-up connection and usually allows dedicated access.

3. Alabama broadband providers have the fastest connections small business owners in Alabama can generally afford. Alabama cable providers also offer high-speed cable Internet access.

Action Steps

The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Compare Alabama ISPs that offer cable access to small businesses ISPs in Alabama that provide an always-on cable connection are frequently the best deal for small businesses. Some national ISPs offer packages tailored to the size of your business.

I recommend: Time Warner Cable is one Alabama high-speed Internet provider that provides business class service. This ISP will allow you to scale your website according to size, traffic and functionality. Charter Business offers several packages for businesses and features a cable connection with a downstream rate of up to 16 Mbps.

Find Internet service providers in Alabama that offer DSL service for your business ISPs provide DSL in Alabama for many business owners in the state. Businesses can bundle multiple services together, such as Internet and web hosting, to get a better deal from the ISP.

I recommend: Qwest offers DSL connections along with many other Internet services for small businesses. AT&T offers a package that combines DSL, VoIP, web hosting, networking and wireless Internet. You can determine if your specific location is in a service area by providing the telephone number of your business on its website.

Check out the access packages from local providers of high-speed internet in Alabama A rural business may have to depend on small, local ISPs. Alabama ISPs frequently offer wireless DSL service for these businesses.

I recommend: Boonlink is based in Fort Payne and has a variety of business packages with connection speeds up to 6.0 Mbps. Cyber Broadband has a wireless network centered in Cullman County with connection speeds up to 3.0 Mbps.

Tips & Tactics

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

Check your ISP's terms of service for website size limitation if you plan to have a large website. You will also need to ensure that your ISP permits commercial websites if you wish to have a website for your small business. Most Internet service providers in Alabama also offer multiple email addresses so that you can assign a separate one to each employee.
Use an Alabama Internet service provider with a Tier 3 rating or better, especially if you are running a small business. The tier rating establishes the ISP's proximity to the Internet and generally how fast its access will be, all other things being equal. Tier 1 ISPs are linked directly to the Internet; Tier 2 ISPs lease their connections from Tier 1 ISPs and so on.
