I know that this saying is quite cliche, but it’s been on my mind lately as I think of the amount of time and money that businesses spend to evaluate their telecom (voice) and data cost(s). Today there are more businesses that want to charge you money to evaluate what you have than ever before. [...]
In this morning’s Denver Post, John Malone, chairman of Colorado-based Liberty Media said, “Cable has come through technologically in great shape relative to its competitors. The telcos, unless they’re willing to spend a massive amount of capital – like (Verizon Communications’) Fios has – have run out of steam in terms of the speed of [...]
Which do you use? Which do you like? Some small businesses use DSL and some use a cable solution (like Comcast’s). DSL is tricky – there are times that it is extremely good, and times when it’s not. Placing a service onto 100 year old copper lines and expecting it to work flawlessly is a [...]
It’s great having choices, but many times it seems like there are too many choices. If you’re a business owner or executive tasked with opening a new office, the decision and choices that need to be made about phones, phone lines and Internet service is a headache. Here are a few ideas to consider before you head down [...]
I work with some very fascinating people each and every day! I’m always curious by the path that led individuals into the technology/telecom/IT field. Sure it’s cool, techie and better than making drinks for people until 2:00 am each night. This is a reference to my brief history as a bartender. I get sincere, WOW excitement when my customers say [...]
Now that the snow has all melted in and around Denver it’s time for us to all be productive. Isn’t it funny though that most people that aren’t from Denver or don’t spend much time here think that there is always 8-10″ of snow on the roads and sidewalks from November 1st until sometime in [...]
Can you believe that the US ranks behind Romania and Bulgaria when broadband Internet connections are compared side by side? This is somewhat of a shock to me. I understand that in Eastern Europe things came a bit later and many of the companies implementing these solution were able to use better and more current [...]
Something that has always bothered me and many of my potential customers is the “mising link”. The “missing link” I believe in our industry is the data offering that is between a DSL connection and a data T-1. There are many areas around this country where a business only qualifies for a 1.5 Mb high speed [...]
OK – Here are the responses to the questions I presented in my last posting: 1.) When choosing a voice T-1 what are the advantages of a PRI over an advanced or basic DSS T-1? An Advanced T has DID (Direct Inward Dial) number capability, but can’t pass caller ID, and a Basic T can [...]
Have you ever wanted an Internet connection that was bigger and more robust than a DSL or at least something that was more “business class”? The perfect solution to this is an Integrated T-1. These T-1′s combine voice, long distance and Internet access all over one connection. T-1′s offer the reliability that a business customer [...]
