High-quality internet built for business traffic
Many business-grade internet connections are actually shared services that slow down under load or fail at the worst possible time. When your business runs on cloud applications and your teams rely on constant connectivity, you can’t afford those kinds of surprises.
GTT Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) delivers a private, uncontended connection to the internet. Your bandwidth is yours alone. This service is backed by our global Tier 1 IP backbone and strong peering relationships, giving you the stable and predictable internet performance that a business requires.
When internet quality matters
Teams often switch to GTT for their internet access when their current service just isn’t reliable enough. The problems are usually a sign that their connection isn’t truly built for business use.
- You experience packet loss that disrupts voice calls and video meetings
- Outages last too long, with slow responses from your provider
- Application performance is poor when connecting to certain cloud platforms or regions
- You have little confidence in the quality of your provider’s network path
DIA focuses on stable paths and consistent delivery. Get a direct, dedicated connection to our global network, which means fewer points of failure and less congestion.
With DIA, you can:
- Secure dedicated bandwidth that isn’t shared with other customers
- Benefit from a Tier 1 IP global backbone with extensive peering
- Reduce congestion-related issues like packet loss and high latency
- Get clear service ownership from a single, accountable provider
The GTT difference
A connection that’s truly yours
Many internet services, even those sold to businesses, are delivered over shared networks.
This means your traffic competes with other customers for bandwidth, leading to slowdowns
and unpredictable performance precisely when you are busiest.
Without GTT
- You share your access loop with other businesses in the area
- Your internet performance fluctuates throughout the day
- You have no control over the congestion caused by other users
With GTT
- You get a dedicated, private connection from your office to our network
- Your bandwidth is reserved for you, ensuring consistent performance
- The connection is backed by a service level agreement (SLA) for peace of mind
Results
Your internet access is optimal. Applications run smoothly, calls are clear and your team can stay productive without fighting the network.
A better path to the cloud and beyond
The performance of your internet connection depends entirely on the quality of the provider’s
backbone network. Providers with weak peering must send your traffic through multiple other
networks to reach its destination, and each extra hop adds latency and another potential point of failure.
Without GTT
- Your traffic takes long, inefficient paths to reach its destination
- You experience poor performance to major cloud providers and SaaS applications
- It’s unclear how your traffic is being routed once it leaves your office
With GTT
- Your connection feeds directly into GTT’s global Tier 1 IP backbone
- Extensive, settlement-free peering provides direct routes to the services you use
- You get a cleaner, lower-latency path for your business-critical traffic
Results
Cloud applications feel faster and more responsive. You get a better user experience for your teams and customers, no matter where they are.
