    Business Broadband

    If you don’t mind paying a bit more for great broadband and great service, look at Zen Internet. Used them for over a decade and think they are excellent.

    Fixed dial terminals for taxis at hospitals

    this is an interesting one. Been asked about a solution for taxis where: 1) phone can only dial one number 2) no access to mains supply 3) direct dial preferred (ie no user interaction, life handset and it calls the defined number) 4) number dialled must be able to be remotely changed All I...

    Advice on a new phone system

    Mitel dominate the hotel sector and for good reason. Your issue here is the 50 rooms which will need a phone which nobody will ever use to make an outbound call. What I have done for other hotels with Mitel kit is to host the PBX itself in a multi-site environment and connect to it over SIP...

    Broadband - who are people using?

    I can vouch for Entanet as well. Although not a user of their service we do resell their FTTC and Ethernet services and from a support perspective we rarely get a call from a customer about the service - so for us that means it must be good. For myself, I spend a lot of time working from home...

    Route mobile calls based on geo location

    Hiya, there is no way to do it as the calling party is presenting 07xxx to the 08xxx number so it is impossible to see wherer the mobile is located as a result. The only workaround is to have something as part of the 08 service which requests that the connected call then input the STD code they...

    How do i know what Broadband upload speed i need

    Agree with CJD on this. Little brings the productivity of a business to a standstill faster than a poor / faulty internet connection yet so few appreciate the value of it unless it underperforms. A hotel is a business but it would not work very well if it bought a washing machine intended for...

    Leased Line - Questions and Quotes

    The TTB network is generally very good. Just don't confuse their residential ADSL play with their business ethernet proposition.

    Leased Line Survey SLA

    You are not obliged to accept the order until such time that the survey has been completed. I'd there are excess construction charges you can cancel at zero penalty. Therefore if you cancel before the survey is complete then you ought not to be charged for that. Your provider may adopt a...

    3g or 4g enabled ADSL / FTTC Routers

    Hi, Can anyone recommend a ADSL router, and a FTTC router which will take a back up SIM so that in the event of outage there is an alternative failover to maintain connectivity? Is it a seamless handover of DSL to 3g as that would be a distinct advantage. There are a few out there but are they...

    the Internet of Things

    Some really interesting stuff thanks. If its true that the tiny processing powers required for this are due to simple stuff doing simple stuff, (forgive me for being simple), then how far does this reach? Is my cup of coffee going to alert me to how strong it is before, during and after I drink...

    So I am hearing loads about this being the next big thing. Everything being connected to everything and the market forecast to triple and triple again and again. What are the opportunities out there if you wanted to explore that market space?

    Plusnet Store My Phone Line

    PM me a contact number and I will give you a ring. Not 100% clear from your post as to what is happening here but looks like someone has obtained an order from someone at your nursery to move the line to PlusNet. Any salespeople visited / been on the phone recently? I can probably help anyway...

    Voipfone Outages Getting Silly

    Don't be ridiculous. Most small businesses want to run all their mission critical applications over the cheapest residential broadband possible and refuse to pay for enhanced care and Level 4 care on the PSTN line. And then scream blue murder if it goes down for 2 minutes
