When you run a small business, you probably don’t want to spend your day thinking about your broadband or phone system. You just want them to work.
That’s why it can make sense to get your business broadband and digital phone from the same provider. Rather than having two companies, two bills and two different support teams to deal with, you can keep things together and make life a bit easier.
It’s a small change, but one that can save you time and hassle.
It’s easier when something goes wrong
This is probably the biggest reason to have both services with the same provider.
Digital phones rely on an internet connection, so if your broadband has a problem, your phone service could be affected too. When your broadband and phone are with different companies, working out who needs to fix the problem can become a bit of a headache.
You call one provider, they tell you to speak to the other, and before you know it, you’ve spent half an hour being passed around.
With the same provider looking after both, you have somewhere straightforward to go when you need help.
You only have one bill to worry about
Keeping track of business costs is much easier when everything is in one place.
If you have separate providers, you’ll have different bills and contracts to keep an eye on. Bringing your broadband and digital phone together means you can manage both services from the same place.
It also makes it easier to see what you’re actually spending on your business communications each month.
Your services are designed to work together
A digital phone system needs a good internet connection. Whether you’re taking calls from customers, speaking to suppliers or working from home, your broadband plays an important part in keeping those calls running smoothly.
Having both services from the same provider means you don’t have to worry about whether two separate services will work well together. Your provider can look at your broadband and phone service as a whole if there’s an issue.
It saves you time
There’s enough admin involved in running a business without adding more phone and broadband paperwork to the list.
If you need to change something, ask a question or get support, having one provider means you know who to contact. You’re not left trying to remember which company deals with which part of your setup.
That might sound like a small thing, but when you’re busy, saving even a little time is useful.
Keeping things simple
There’s no need to make your business communications more complicated than they have to be.
Having your digital phone and broadband with the same provider means fewer suppliers to manage and someone who can help with both sides of your connection.
