Cable service can offer connection speeds similar to or faster than DSL, but sometimes it may not be as reliable. Cable upload speeds for files is slower than DSL, which may cause problems if you or your customers must frequently upload huge files, such as video.

Your Internet in Ohio service may benefit from a high-speed T1 connection

T1 lines offer Internet connections at high speeds and high bandwidths at prices many small to medium sized companies can afford. The cost may be greater than cable or DSL, but the dependable speed and service could be worth it.

Consider a satellite Ohio ISP

Many Ohio companies are in rural areas in which no DSL or cable providers offer service. Some suburban areas suffer from poor coverage by such services. Satellite Internet speeds are just as fast as DSL and cable, but one issue is that rough weather might generate interference with the satellite service.

I recommend: Consider Direcway, which is recommended by EverythingDSL, and DirecTV. Both are ISPs in OH that offer satellite Internet service.
