Comcast Business

America's largest business internet provider — fiber, coax, and SD-WAN under one roof

Comcast Business is the largest commercial internet provider in the United States, covering 14+ million business addresses with a mix of fiber Ethernet and HFC cable infrastructure. For multi-location businesses where predictable bandwidth, fast provisioning, and a single national billing relationship matter, Comcast Business delivers scale that regional ISPs can't match. With Comcast Business Internet, Ethernet Dedicated Internet (EDI), and their ActiveCore SD-WAN platform, they cover everything from a 50-seat office to a 500-site enterprise.

How Compare Select helps

Buyer's FAQ

What's the difference between Business Internet and Dedicated Fiber (EDI)?

Business Internet is a shared cable product — you get high speeds at a low price but share bandwidth with neighbors. EDI (Ethernet Dedicated Internet) is a private, symmetrical fiber circuit with a guaranteed SLA. EDI is recommended for locations where reliability is mission-critical and latency-sensitive apps (VoIP, VDI) run over the connection.
