Questions and documents to settle before you sign a business internet agreement.

Use this checklist before you sign a service order or accept an installation date. It groups the items that most often cause surprises: availability at your exact address, what the monthly price includes, contract terms, and installation logistics. Tick items off as you confirm them in writing. Your progress is saved in your own browser only and is not sent anywhere.
Two habits make the checklist more useful. First, get quotes in writing and itemized, so that you can compare the monthly recurring charge, one-time charges, taxes and surcharges separately. Second, ask each provider the same questions in the same order. When an answer is vague, ask for the relevant page of the service agreement, terms of service or service-level agreement rather than relying on a verbal promise.
The checklist is general. Your own industry may add requirements, such as a separate network for payment card systems, or specific uptime needs for telehealth or point-of-sale systems. If you are unsure about legal or compliance obligations, consult a qualified IT or legal professional.
