% Row 0
\SetRowColor{LightBackground}
DIA pricing by bandwidth & Generally, higher bandwidth translates into a higher internet bill. Bandwidth comes as either fixed bandwidth or burstable bandwidth. If a company attempts to transmit past its fixed limit, their data packets are dropped when using fixed bandwidth. Burstable bandwidth offers regular data usage. However, if a company needs a larger capacity, their bandwidth can burst as needed to serve everybody's needs. \tn

% Row 1

Speed & The time between when a device sends a signal to a server and when that signal is answered by the server and sent to each person's device is their internet speed or latency. Higher speeds add up to higher costs. \tn 
% Row Count 26 (+ 9)
% Row 2
\SetRowColor{LightBackground}
Quality & Connection quality includes speed and whether there is jitter or packet loss. Jitter, or when data packets arrive at different times, results in delays in audio or video. Packet loss is when data packets don't arrive or arrive out of order or late. All of this adds up to low-quality connections. \tn

On-net or off-net & If DIA for a company requires a build, it is off-net and will be more expensive each month. On-net DIA, which does not require a connection to be built, is less expensive. If an ISP has to make a capital expenditure to provide each business with dedicated internet access, that cost will either come as a non-recurring cost or a percentage of the cost will recur each month with each company's internet bill. \tn

There is more transparency in pricing for best effort internet, which is less expensive, but it comes with the downsides of connectivity being at the mercy of bandwidth traffic. DIA prices can differ widely among regions and cities and ISPs. The choices made - fixed or burstable bandwidth, speeds, connection quality, and more - also factor into the price each company will pay for dedicated internet access. \newline % Row Count 11 (+ 11)
