Help - phone line/broadband needed for business relocation

Post by Andy G » Wed Apr 23, 2014 3:42 pm

Hi Guys

About to consolidate office and warehouse back to one location!

Was trying to get this done by month end (we have our current office landlord trying to increase our rent by 40% if we got past end of April (should be May long story!), comms being the big issue for moving the office but the member of staff sorting it has just been advised BT will take 18 days approx to install a phone line?

Any way to expedite this? Also anything else we should be considering? Being told that in that area (Newhailes) peak broadband spend is 5.6mbps, and we could really do with something faster.

In my ignorance, you always think thats its just a case of someone flicking a switch! :damnfunny

Hi Andy

Can recommend these guys for a quick fix until broadband is installed - http://www.stream-communications.com/?g ... wgoddrsAnQ

Have used them before to tide by until broadband is installed in one or two of our clients. Used the 3G router service and client was delighted. Think minimum contract length is 1 month.

Looking at anything else? Depends on budget and requirements - you may want to look at FTTC or EFM.

Sam Knows is a good reference. If this is your exchange then you might be able to get FTTC - https://www.samknows.com/broadband/exchange/ESMUS

Give me a shout if I can help further - we can't make BT move any quicker on installing phone lines unfortunately :-(

Cheers

Alistair
