Bonded Broadband

Whilst OpenReach are slowly rolling out FTTC across the country, there are still vast swathes of the UK who are suffering from slow broadband and are more than a year away from even having the chance of getting FTTC (Superfast BT Infinity™ style connections) more still may never benefit from FTTC due to the costs of providing the service to remote rural areas.

The Age of Internet Telephony

 

We’ve all heard the hype in the press over SIP, VOIP, Internet Telephony and all the horror stories from the early adopters, or tried Skype and felt like we were talking to a mouse on the dark side of the moon.

Small businesses however have been embracing VoIP more and more over the last 12-18 months and I can tell you, with the availability of Bonded Broadband, FTTC and EFM the quality of true VoIP (SIP) calls is now as good, if not better than standard analogue calls!  In fact most of the telcos around the world have been using VoIP technologies for years, they don’t want end users to know how reliable it is however as it means Yu are no longer tied to your incumbent telco for your calls.

Gartner and other agencies are predicting a 400 fold increase in VoIP take up by large business over the next 3 years.  The secret is out, VoIP is now reliable,super cheap and extremely easy to setup.

 Here @Fido we have highly experienced staff able to help you migrate to VoIP, we have extremely competitive rates (1p to landlines across Europe, 6.5p to mobiles, the USA for 1p and more!)

Talk to our sales consultants today to find out
just how much you could be saving if you transition to VoIP
