Why Single-Carrier Internet Is a Growing Risk for Las Vegas Businesses

Jan 25, 2026 | USPBX News

Businesses across Las Vegas and Southern Nevada are becoming increasingly dependent on always-on connectivity for cloud applications, VoIP phone systems, payment processing, and customer communications. Yet many still rely on a single internet provider — a growing risk as outages become more common.

According to reporting from Reuters and Ars Technica, recent outages affecting business districts nationwide were often caused by fiber cuts or upstream carrier failures — issues entirely outside a customer’s control. For Las Vegas businesses operating call centers, hospitality services, medical offices, or multi-location operations, even brief downtime can result in lost revenue and customer frustration.

Industry best practices now recommend redundant business internet strategies, particularly in fast-growing metro areas like Las Vegas where construction and infrastructure changes are frequent.

USPBX provides Las Vegas business internet solutions designed with redundancy in mind, combining multi-carrier fiber, fixed wireless, and 5G failover internet for Nevada businesses. When one connection fails, traffic automatically reroutes — keeping phones and critical systems online.
