TUCSON, AZ. –- Cox Business is now offering small and medium-sized businesses faster download and upload speeds traditionally reserved for larger businesses. At the highest level, business clients can now access download/upload speeds of 150Mbps/20Mbps respectively, which is three times faster than the leading competitor.

“No matter their size, our Southern Arizona business clients want faster Internet access that will improve their operations,” says Pam Crim, Cox Business Sales Director.

Many businesses today use data-intensive applications requiring faster Internet speeds to transfer massive files between locations, share work applications and be able to access critical data on remote servers. For example, retail stores require significant credit card processing ability and high storage capacity. Health care providers, advertising agencies, banks and even law offices need to move huge amounts of data within their organizations and to their clients.

“We understand that not all businesses are the same. Our customers’ need for speed expands and contracts with not only their size, but with their data transfer and retrieval needs. Small businesses can have big data demands and we’re there, constantly evaluating to make sure we are providing the most effective Internet experience possible for most budgets,” added Crim.

Clients should evaluate their technology needs against their business’s need for data transfer, number of employees online, job functions related to Internet access and customer interaction with the firm’s web-based services. When choosing Internet speeds, businesses need to think about what information they are sharing and how fast they need to send/receive it. Other determining factors are the number of business locations and what percentage of the business operations requires use of the Internet.

Cox Business offers eight different packages that can be scaled up or down to meet the changing needs of business. Packages include download/upload speeds as follows:

Download/Upload Mbps

5/1

10/2

15/3

28/4

80/10
