Internet your business can lean on.

Everything you have moved to the cloud arrives through one cable, so the connection is no longer a utility, it is the floor your business stands on. This page walks you through how we assess, order and cut over a business connection: what the options mean in plain language, why carrier lead times drive the calendar, and how the switch happens without an outage.

The journey

Five phases, zero downtime.

The map

Assessment

No charge

What do you have, what does it cost, and what does your work actually need? A business on cloud apps, video calls and VoIP has different needs from one that mostly browses. We measure what your current connection really delivers, not what the plan name promises, and check what is available at your address.

What we need from you
  • A recent bill and your current contract's end date
  • The pain: what slows down, and when
  • How much your business loses per hour when the internet is down; that number sizes the answer
You leave withA measured picture of what you have versus what your address can get, with honest costs.

Choose the connection

Price is fixed here

We put the realistic options side by side in plain language: business fibre with a proper service-level agreement, a backup connection that takes over automatically if the main one fails, and for multi-site businesses, SD-WAN to join sites and manage failover. You choose with the trade-offs visible, and the monthly price is fixed before anything is ordered.

The scope names
  • The connection, its speed and its service-level agreement, in plain words
  • Failover: what happens in a cut, and how fast
  • Monthly cost next to your current one
  • Realistic carrier lead times, stated up front
What we need from you
  • The resilience call: is a backup connection worth it for you
  • Landlord consent if the building needs new cabling
Honest note · lead times
The carrier owns the calendar. We manage it.

New fibre can take days or weeks depending on the address and whether the building needs work. We lodge the order, chase it, and keep you told, and your current connection stays on until the new one is live and proven. Planning an office move? Order the connection first; it is the longest lead item in the whole move.

Order & provisioning

We chase, you work

We place the order and manage the carrier: the site visits, the installation appointment, the paperwork. If an installer needs access, we coordinate it. Nothing about your current service changes during this phase.

What we need from you
  • Building access for the carrier's installer on the appointed day
  • Do not cancel the old connection; we time that after cutover
4

Cutover

With overlap

The new connection is installed and tested alongside the old one: speed measured, failover rehearsed, VoIP and cloud apps proven on it. Then the network switches over, usually in minutes and outside your busy hours. Only once the new connection has run cleanly do we cancel the old service.

What happens
  • New connection tested under real load before anything switches
  • The office cut across in a small, scheduled window
  • Old service cancelled only after the new one is proven
5

Managed & monitored

Ongoing

The connection joins your managed environment: monitored so we usually know about a fault before you call, managed with the carrier when something needs escalating, and reviewed as your business grows. If a failover connection is part of the design, it is tested on a schedule, not discovered broken during an outage.

What ongoing looks like
  • Monitoring and carrier escalation handled by us
  • Failover tested on a schedule
  • Capacity reviewed as the business and its cloud use grow
The deal

What you can hold us to.

Both ways
What you can expect from us
  • A measured comparison, not a plan-name comparison
  • Lead times stated honestly, and the carrier chased by us
  • The old connection kept until the new one is proven under load
  • Faults noticed by monitoring, usually before you feel them
What we ask of you
  • A real bill and contract dates for the comparison
  • Building access on installation day, and landlord consent where needed
  • Leave the old service cancellation to us

Find out what your
address can get.

The assessment costs nothing and tells you what is actually available at your site, measured against what you have now.

And relax

Getting started is the easy part.

Onboarding without drama

We do the switch: your current provider, the migration, the handover, all of it. Most teams barely notice the cutover happened.

Everything looked after

On the right plan, compliance, reporting and budgets are handled inside the partnership. You run the business; we run the IT underneath it.

Your QBR writes itself

Quarterly business reviews are generated automatically from your live environment: spend, posture, recommendations and roadmap, ready for the board, reviewed with your account manager.

The honest bit: the full looked-after experience comes with the right plan. We charge fairly for what we take on, and when costs step up it's because you are taking on more, always moving in the right direction.
