Sudden impact – how Telecom mergers may affect your business
With continuing mergers in
the Telecom industry, you need to be aware of the potential impact a newly
consolidated service provider may have on your business. As the merged
companies work out operational kinks, you could be in for a few surprises.
For example, as the companies integrate their billing systems this could
introduce errors into your invoices. If your service provider is part of a
merger, we advise you pay close attention to your Telecom bills…
-
Look for charges you haven’t seen before.
-
Scan for duplicate charges.
-
Check for new fees.
-
Ensure that you are not being billed for equipment and services that you may have cancelled, or never even had.
Also be alert to solicitations that promise lower costs for services as a result of any merger. This may not be true. In fact, there may be price increases on some services.
During the initial stages of a Telecom
merger you may be uncertain about the best way to proceed. Whatever happens, we
will be there to help you sort through the clutter and assist you in getting
the best deals.
We can provide all the details on products, features, pricing and the latest
promotions to keep your business connected. Contact us at (888) 300-6600
or email info@universal-tel.com.
With prices for Internet T1 circuits reduced by about 50% from a just a
few years ago, it might be a good
time to consider an upgrade from DSL.
Over the last few years, we've seen DSL become a mainstream service for accessing the Internet. It works very well for
small to midsized businesses. The success of DSL has put downward price pressure on Internet T1 circuits, so much so
that the pricing for Internet T1 is now at an all time low.
Some deals include free router
usage and professional installation. Plus you get the quality,
reliability and security of dedicated T1 connection.
To get the best deals on Internet T1 in your area, call us at (888)
