Great deals available from Managed Comms

Consumers looking for the best possible broadband deal may find that changing SDSL providers is a great way to get the right deal for their needs.

Ofcom, the independent UK regulatory body for consumers, has put together a guide to help people make the right choice when they begin evaluating possible SDSL providers, with a host of great tips covering all aspects of making the big change.

For example, the organisation advised consumers to ensure that they operate within the terms of their current agreement before they take the plunge and switch SDSL providers. Check the small print to find out exactly what your rights are in such an instance. This can help avoid charges associated with prematurely ending an SDSL providers contract.

In addition, it is important to get your MAC code from your ISP once you decide to leave them. This code helps customers change SDSL providers with the minimum of fuss, the body explained.

Managed Comms offers a number of great deals and is one of the frontrunners among SDSL providers. With over eight years experience in the industry, you can be sure that all our technicians and advisers know exactly what they’re doing.

Similarly, costs are kept down and its network covers a greater area than BT – meaning joining up is virtually a no-brainer! If you’re interested in speaking to a Managed Comms representative about signing up, or to gain a quote, feel free to call today.

Village shuns BT for superfast internet

Friday, May 7th, 2010

Great SDSL packages available from Managed Comms

A village in the UK has decided to go against the broadband internet deals offered by BT and instead set up its own high-speed service.

Residents of Lyddington raised £370,000 between them in order to ensure a superfast 40Mbps connection was possible for the village’s 200 homes. The network operates under Rutland Telecom and marks the first time in telecommunications history that an area has been completely cut off from the local BT exchange.

People looking for an internet connection faster and more secure than those offered by BT can turn to Managed Comms for a superfast SDSL line. With a service rate of 99.99 per cent, customers can rest assured that a high-quality line is always available wherever they are.

Technology enthusiast Stephen Fry was brought up near Lyddington and welcomed the move. He told the BBC: “It has always been a frustration that fast, reliable broadband service has always been hardest for those who most benefit - those in the countryside.”

More and more people are looking beyond BT for their internet connections. An SDSL line with Managed Comms is the perfect solution for those who cannot access a BT exchange. Indeed, Managed Comms has access to a greater number of exchanges nationwide, meaning that a superfast SDSL line can be achieved wherever you are.

If you are interested in setting up an SDSL line in any area of the UK, feel free to contact Managed Comms to set up a quote today.

SDSL provider offers superfast broadband now

Bonded SDSL boasts rapid speeds and excellent coverage

SDSL provider Managed Comms is very much aware that the subject of superfast broadband is well and truly in the spotlight at the moment.

The Conservative party has announced plans to roll out a high-speed network in major urban areas while Labour wants to introduce a 50p tax on existing landlines to widen access.

And BT has been putting the finishing touches to a £1.5 billion fibre-optic network in parts of Greater Manchester; some 100,000 homes and businesses are expected to gain access.

However, the SDSL provider has admitted that its service – which should deliver download speeds peaking at 40Mbps and significantly lower upload rates – will not be available to everyone even in these isolated areas due to technical reasons.

One thing seems to have been overlooked, however; leading SDSL provider Managed Comms can already deliver superfast broadband speeds.

Our bonded symmetric digital subscriber lines have been giving businesses download and upload speeds of up to 32 Mbps for some time, which is more than enough to enjoy cloud computing, lightening fast system backups and HD videoconferencing.

What’s more, unlike some SDSL providers we can provide access to the majority of UK businesses.

As well as delivering to companies near the 1,076 BT SDSL-enabled exchanges, we also have access to a host of other exchanges.

So even if you’ve been told by BT that it’s not possible to get rapid SDSL in your area, you may still be able to get superfast broadband speeds with Managed Comms.

Google Apps Marketplace could generate more interest in SDSL

Monday, March 15th, 2010

Managed Comms is one of the UK’s leading SDSL providers

SDSL providers are preparing for a sharp rise in demand after news broke that a major cloud computing service is to be massively expanded.

More than two million businesses have already switched to Google Apps after recognising that it can slash the amount of time and money they spend buying, installing and maintaining servers and software.

And the launch of the Google Apps Marketplace, a collection of integrated third-party apps covering everything from payroll to collaboration, could dramatically speed up the changeover.

Of course, working in this way is greatly enhanced by a powerful SDSL connection and upstream rates are particularly crucial; this is because companies need to upload large volumes of data to the cloud on a regular basis.

Some businesses like the idea of cloud computing but feel that broadband limitations in their area make it impractical.

But Managed Comms, one of the UK’s leading SDSL providers, has worked tirelessly to increase upload speeds for firms that are a long way from the nearest exchange or struggle to find local SDSL provision.

We are able to offer excellent coverage all over the UK because we actually have access to more exchanges than rival SDSL providers like BT.

And to hammer home the message, we have even set up a simple tool on the homepage of our website.

Enter your name, telephone number and email address into the Managed Comms’ SDSL Availability Check and we will quickly respond, giving you an expert assessment of SDSL coverage in your area.

Business SDSL could enjoy bumper year

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

Cloud computing switch could enhance demand for business SDSL

A growing number of small companies are upgrading their internet connection, which could signal a rise in business SDSL uptake.

According to a new Easynet Connect poll of 255 IT decision-makers working in British small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), 19 per cent said they planned to increase their bandwidth ahead of a switch to cloud computing.

And the demand for business SDSL could rise rapidly because just 13 per cent of respondents indicated they would be upgrading at the end of 2008.

The study also revealed that next year could see many more companies switching to cloud computing applications such as Google Docs, Apple MobileMe and Google Apps.

For the uninitiated, cloud computing enables businesses to access services through their web browser without having to worry about internal technical support or server space.

But while 73 per cent of firms plan to introduce cloud computing over the next five years, business SDSL customers may be interested to hear that just 29 per cent have a formal strategy in place to handle the switchover.

With cloud computing, consumers need to regularly upload information so it is recommended they use a connection with good upstream rates such as business SDSL.

Factor in additional usage from video conferencing, media streaming and IP telephony and the need for good upload speeds becomes clear.

But one of the study’s most surprising revelations is that 80 per cent of companies are still reliant on ADSL connections, which offer a significantly lower upstream than downstream.

One possible solution is for them to arrange a high-speed business SDSL connection, taking advantage of up to 6Mbps and unlimited downloads.
