Backup internet for law and accounting offices
From the FAILOVER5 team at Twisted VoIP, Chandler, Arizona · Updated October 2026
Filing deadlines don't move because the internet went down. Court e-filing, IRS e-file, client portals and video calls all assume a working connection, and in a cloud office there's no paper fallback.
Where a cloud office stalls
- Practice and accounting software such as Clio, MyCase, QuickBooks Online and Karbon
- Court e-filing and IRS e-file
- Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace email and documents
- Client portals and e-signatures
- Teams and Zoom meetings
Your VPN and security still apply
The backup line connects behind your firewall, so remote access, VPNs and security policies cover it the same as your main line. If your VPN needs a fixed address at the office, choose a Verizon plan with a static IP.
Tax season and trial weeks
Some firms only worry about outages during their busiest weeks. Plans are month to month, but the outage you need protection from rarely gives notice. Most firms keep the line year round.
Suggested plan: 20 GB plan, $123/month
Email, documents and filing fit in 20 GB for a small office. If video meetings need to continue during an outage, choose 50 GB.
Compare all plansQuestions we hear from law and accounting offices
- Will large file syncs eat the backup data?
- They can. OneDrive, SharePoint and Dropbox let you pause syncing, and your IT provider can keep backups on the main line only.
- Can people working from home use it?
- No. It protects the office connection. Staff at home use their own internet.
Does it pay for itself?
The 20 GB plan is $1,476 a year. It pays for itself if it saves about 6 billable hours a year.
Think about your last outage: how many billable hours did it cost you?
