Is Your Business Outgrowing Shared Internet?
Do any of these sound familiar?
- I run multiple locations that need to stay connected
- My voice and video calls lag at busy times
- My cloud applications slow down during peak hours
- My large file transfers and routine backups take longer than they should
- Outages or slowdowns have interrupted my team’s work in the past year
- I need upload speeds that match my download speeds
- My industry’s compliance requirements call for guaranteed uptime
If two or more of these statements sound familiar, you’ve likely outgrown shared internet.

DIA vs. Shared Broadband
Shared broadband splits capacity among everyone nearby.
With DIA, a fixed amount of bandwidth is reserved for your business alone.
| Feature | DIA | Shared Broadband |
|---|---|---|
| Bandwidth | Fixed capacity reserved for your business | Capacity split among nearby subscribers |
| Upload Speed | Symmetrical, matches download speed | Typically slower than download speeds |
| Peak-Hour Performance | Consistent at peak and off-peak hours | Can slow when neighboring usage climbs |
| Uptime Commitment | SLA-backed guarantee | Usually no uptime commitment |

What is dedicated internet access (DIA)?
DIA gives your business a fixed amount of fiber bandwidth that no one else shares, with symmetrical speeds and an SLA-backed uptime guarantee. Your capacity stays the same whether the network is busy or quiet.
Why is DIA more reliable than shared broadband?
DIA is more reliable because your bandwidth is reserved for your business and your service is backed by an SLA. What your neighbors use doesn't reduce your capacity, and shared broadband usually comes with no uptime commitment.
Does Lightspeed Networks own the fiber network?
Yes. Lightspeed Networks owns and operates the fiber behind your connection, and a local network operations center in the Pacific Northwest monitors it 24/7.
Which organizations use DIA?
Mid-size and enterprise organizations that have outgrown shared broadband, including healthcare, financial services, government, and multi-site businesses across the Pacific Northwest. Any organization that depends on cloud applications, voice and video, or large file transfers can benefit from DIA.
How is DIA priced?
DIA is quoted per circuit and has no list price. Pricing depends on bandwidth, contract length, whether fiber already reaches your building, and how far a new build would need to run. Because we quote after confirming serviceability at your address, an availability check is the first step.
