We use Comcast Business, we've had good luck with them the last 2 years since we opened. Though for a while we had problems but it turned out it wasn't Comcast, there was a closet in the garage downstairs that the building manager had assumed wasn't relevant to us. After troubleshooting a while and not finding the problem (speed was too low and we were paying for the 500MB speed package), the tech insisted that the manager let him see that closet. She finally relented and sure enough, there was internet cable in there that led to our office space, and the cable was skinny and flimsy. Once we replaced that cable with the nice thick stuff, we were finally getting the 500MB download that Comcast promises. That comes into a fairly large ''Business'' modem, the biggest one Comcast has, and then that is distributed throughout our space via 4 Engenius access points, which is a ''poor man's'' way of helping distribute load/demand.
Once we get some other expenses out of the way, and membership increases, we're going to look at Meraki. They are THE deal when it comes to load balancing Wi FI demand in office spaces. For now though the 500MB download package and 4 Engenius access points suffice. Note — the 500MB speed does not carry all the way through the Engenius access points, it will drop, though the speed is still more than enough for users.
