What we check
Six things we check on your telecoms.
Phone lines and broadband often sit on different contracts with different end dates. These are the details we look at first.
Card machines and alarms
Openreach lists card terminals, alarms, CCTV and door entry among the equipment that may need upgrading.
Broadband type and speed
Whether SOGEA broadband, which needs no phone line, suits your site.
Phones and VoIP
How many users and numbers you need, and whether VoIP replaces your landlines.
Power cuts
Digital lines may not work in a power cut without backup power, so we check what needs it.
Contract end dates
Broadband, phone and mobile contracts often end on different dates. We put them on one list.
How we show it
Lines, broadband and calls, side by side.
