I’m looking to open a coworking space, Visionary Meetings in the Detroit area. I’m trying to figure out what the best internet WiFi provider. I have a quote from Comcast, but I don’t want to enter into a 3 year contract plus I have not heard a lot good things about it. Any suggestions would be great.

In L.A., 3-year contracts are standard for decent rates for businesses. Shorter are available, but the rates go up.

Depending on where in the Detroit area you are, Comcast at AT&T are pretty much your only options. There are other service providers, but they are simply reselling either Comcast or AT&T bandwidth.
Here at Workantile in Ann Arbor, we are using Comcast business class service at 50mbs, and have an AT&T DSL for a backup in case the Comcast connection goes down. We have failover router which automatically switches to the AT&T connection, and back to Comcast when Comcast comes back up. I am actually quite pleased with the service from Comcast business services - unlike their residential counterparts, they have been very responsive on the rare occasions there have been problems with their connection.

If you provide me an address I would be happy to do a lookup (we are a master Agent) and see what options come back. You will be hard pressed to get anything
less than 3 year without paying through the nose for it.

One tip to try is www.bandwidthpool.com They can tell you what other providers might
serve your needs.
If your Coworking space is a non-profit entity or in
some other way has sponsors, you might contact the providers to see if they will
give you a discount or cover install costs as a way to help the space.
We got a company to bury a fiber line to our
building. Something we could have never
afforded, but we splashed their logo up and both sides are happy.
Fast, reliable internet is really our biggest asset next
to the physical space. Worth spending as
much as you can afford to provide in my opinion.
