Our NHC business internet aggregator review
For companies that manage internet services across many locations, New Horizon Communications (NHC) reduces vendor sprawl by consolidating all your connectivity providers into one bill.
Instead of juggling dozens of vendors, contracts, and invoices, NHC provides one consolidated bill and a single support channel. For enterprises seeing rapid growth or undergoing mergers and acquisitions, NHC can also uncover overlaps, eliminate redundancies, and make it easier to standardize services across locations.
Aggregators like NHC charge a consolidation premium, so the service only makes sense for companies with complex operations or ones experiencing vendor sprawl. For most, the time, clarity, and control you gain more than justify the expense. In fact, simplified billing, compliance, and network management across all locations often offset the added cost, especially considering the time saved on daily operations.
Pros
One invoice and a single point of contact across all locations
Broad access to fiber, cable, 5G, and satellite nationwide
Strong redundancy options with fixed wireless failover and SD-WAN
Stateside 24/7 customer support with dedicated account management
Centralized visibility with invoices, reporting, and site-level insights on one platform
Cons
May cost more than going direct with an individual internet service provider (ISP)
Contracts, pricing, and SLAs vary by carrier, making costs less predictable
Coordinating issues with the original provider may extend resolution times
No direct ISP contact limits the ability to build provider relationships
Standardized processes may reduce flexibility

NHC plans and pricing
Unlike traditional internet providers, NHC doesn’t publish set plans or rates.
As a business aggregator, NHC builds customized solutions by consolidating internet services from multiple carriers, so pricing depends on the original providers and the needs of each individual location.
Factors that impact pricing
| Factor | How it impacts pricing | Customer value |
|---|---|---|
| Access type | Fiber is higher cost but offers guaranteed bandwidth; cable and wireless are typically less expensive | Tailor cost and performance by site |
| Speed and SLAs | Symmetrical speeds and guaranteed uptime cost more than standard service | Pay more only where reliability is critical |
| Multi-site volume | Consolidating dozens of sites creates leverage to secure lower bundled rates | Larger scale reduces per-site cost |
| Contracts | Terms vary by carrier, usually 12–36 months | Ensures predictable pricing for length of contract |
| Consolidation premium | Slight markup compared to buying direct | Offset by time/operational savings |
NHC pricing is tailored for every customer and is based on connection type, bandwidth, number of locations, carrier contracts, and the cost of consolidation.

NHC business internet aggregator: Our final take
NHC is a strong option for companies struggling with vendor sprawl or managing multi-location networks. Consolidating providers reduces the overhead of managing scattered ISPs, billing, and troubleshooting across dozens of sites. This allows businesses to shift focus from day-to-day vendor management to higher value projects.
Yes, the costs are generally higher than working directly with individual ISPs, and repair timelines may be affected since NHC coordinates troubleshooting with each individual provider. That said, these tradeoffs seem minor compared to the obvious efficiency gains.
Overall, NHC is a smart choice for businesses with complex or distributed operations that want to simplify internet management without sacrificing performance. If you run a single small office, you’re better off working directly with a provider, but for businesses with multiple locations, NHC is a strong, long-term solution.
