The best option for your specific situation will vary. If you anticipate just needing a backup for a short time or to use with low-data-usage applications, such as POS, a low data allowance plan can be a solid solution. If you expect frequent primary connectivity failure during time of high internet usage, one of our primary business internet plans may be a better fit.
Backup internet refers to a secondary, standby connection for emergency failover if/when the primary (wired from another carrier) connection is interrupted.
