The Boston Internet Problem
Why Boston businesses are switching to wireless
Getting fiber installed in Boston means construction permits, sidewalk trenching, and lead times measured in months. Older buildings in Back Bay, the Financial District, and Cambridge often have limited conduit access. Meanwhile, cable providers offer asymmetric speeds that bottleneck uploads and cloud applications. Netafy solves all of this.
No Construction Required
Fiber installation in Boston means street cuts, permits, and disruption. Netafy installs a small antenna on your rooftop. No digging, no drilling into streets, no waiting on city permitting. Your business stays open during the entire installation.
Fast Deployment
Fiber quotes in Boston often come back at 3–6 months or longer. Netafy deploys in 1–2 weeks from signed order. Ideal for new offices, temporary locations, or businesses that need connectivity now.
True Path Diversity
If your fiber and cable both run underground, a single backhoe takes out both. Netafy's wireless infrastructure runs on separate towers for genuine backup diversity for business continuity regardless of what happens at street level.

Business Wi-Fi vs business internet service
We deliver business internet service to your building. That's the connection from our towers to a rooftop or window radio, then a cable to your closet.
Wi-Fi inside the office stays yours, or your IT vendor's. We don't manage in-building Wi-Fi, and we don't run Wi-Fi surveys.
What we do survey: a free site survey to check line of sight for the rooftop or window radio. That's how we know if we can serve the address. Typical install is a small radio plus a cable run, live in 1-2 weeks. No trenching, no street digging.
Property managers
Second internet for your building, without construction
Large Boston buildings often have one ISP: Comcast. Tenants want another. Fiber or a new conduit is a street project. Fixed wireless isn't. No trenching, no street digging, no waiting on new fiber.
There is still an install. A small rooftop or window radio, plus a cable run. Typically live in 1-2 weeks where we can serve the address. We hand off the connection. We don't manage tenant Wi-Fi. Read the second internet option for your building.

Boston business internet FAQ
Where do you serve in Boston?
Greater Boston business addresses, not homes. We already list Downtown Boston, Back Bay, the Financial District, the Seaport, South Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, Brookline, Quincy, Newton, and nearby towns, plus Bridgewater and Middleboro on the South Shore. Coverage is building-by-building. Typical install is 1-2 weeks. Call 877-412-9434 or use the quote form on this page.
Is Netafy business internet available in Boston?
Yes. Our GigTier service covers Greater Boston including Downtown Boston, Back Bay, the Seaport, Cambridge, Somerville, Brookline, Quincy, and surrounding towns. Enter your address to confirm coverage at your building.
How does wireless internet compare to fiber for Boston businesses?
Netafy Broadband GigTier delivers fiber-class symmetric speeds (up to 1 Gbps) without the construction, permitting, and 3-6 month lead times fiber requires in Boston. Performance is comparable: latency and reliability match wired connections, but deployment is measured in weeks, not months.
Can I use Netafy as a backup to my existing cable or fiber connection?
Absolutely. Many Boston businesses pair Netafy as a diverse backup. Because our wireless network runs on completely separate infrastructure from cable or fiber, you get true path diversity. We include SD-WAN managed failover so traffic switches automatically.
How long does installation take in Boston?
Typical Boston installations are completed within 1-2 weeks of signing your order. The install itself usually takes a single visit. A technician places a small antenna on your rooftop and runs a cable to your network closet.
Do you provide business Wi-Fi in Boston?
No. We deliver business internet service to the building. Wi-Fi inside the office stays yours, or your IT vendor's. We don't manage in-building Wi-Fi.
Do you do commercial Wi-Fi surveys in Boston?
No. We don't run in-building Wi-Fi surveys. We do a free site survey to check line of sight for a rooftop or window radio, so we know if we can serve the address.
What's included in a Netafy site survey in Boston?
A tech checks whether a rooftop or window radio can see our signal. That's line of sight for the internet connection, not a Wi-Fi heat map of your floors. If we can serve the building, typical install is a small radio plus a cable run, live in 1-2 weeks. No trenching, no street digging.
Can a Boston office get business internet without construction or a fiber wait?
Yes. We mount a radio on the roof and run a cable to your closet. No street cuts, no trenching, and no city construction wait. Typical time from a signed order to live service is 1-2 weeks. Enter your building address on this page and we'll confirm coverage.
Can I add a second internet provider to my Boston building without construction?
Yes, if we can serve the address. Fixed wireless is a small rooftop or window radio plus a cable run. No trenching, no street digging, no new conduit. There is still an install. Typical published Boston install is 1-2 weeks. We hand off internet. We don't manage tenant Wi-Fi.
Is Netafy an alternative to Comcast Business or cable in Boston?
If cable is already live on your floor, keep it. That's the honest call for a lot of Boston offices. Look at Netafy when the wired quote is a build, you need better uploads, or you want a second path that does not share a conduit. Rooftop wireless, speeds up to 1 Gbps, typical install 1-2 weeks, plans from $199/mo.
How do I add a diverse backup internet path for a Boston office?
Pair our rooftop wireless with the cable or fiber you already have. Two underground lines in the same conduit are not diverse; a street cut can take both. Our path comes in over the air from separate towers. SD-WAN failover can shift traffic automatically. The Diverse Backup add-on we publish is $50/mo.

Two wireless paths for a show window when fiber into the building isn't an option.
