What’s the Best Internet Speed for my Business – The Ultimate Guide

June 5, 2025 | Blog

From coffee shops to corporate enterprises, a reliable internet connection is a must to exceed your business’s needs. 

Fiber provides businesses with the fastest, most reliable internet that’s built for growth.

This guide will break down our Tachus Business Fiber plans featuring use cases from our own customers to help you choose the right internet plan for you. 

What Type of Connection Does my Business Need: Advanced XGS vs Active Ethernet

At Tachus, we provide business customers with Advanced XGS and Active Ethernet plans to meet their needs. Here’s the difference:

XGS vs AE 2

Advanced XGS

Tachus’ Advanced XGS Network is a synchronous business network designed specifically for areas with a high business concentration. 

Our ultra-reliable network keeps businesses powered thanks to our weatherproof infrastructure and underground installation.

With extremely low latency and robust bandwidth, Tachus Advanced XGS supports the high-speed needs of family-owned businesses and major enterprises alike. 

We use a proprietary passive network design, hardware, and ports to deliver exceptional performance, with speeds up to 8.0 Gbps download and 8.0 Gbps upload.

Active Ethernet

Active Ethernet from Tachus Business Fiber utilizes a dedicated, fiber-optic connection from your business to our main cabinet switch. 

That fiber-connection belongs 100% to your business and only your data travels along that dedicated fiber. 

Alongside blazing-fast speeds, Active Ethernet means:

  • No slowdowns during peak usage times.
  • A congestion-free connection that only your business can use.
  • Enhanced security that protects your business from data breaches or unauthorized network access.

If your business requires a dedicated connection that is always congestion-free, Active Ethernet allows for the most extreme symmetrical speeds and provides maximum data security.
