WARNING!!! ISDN SHUTDOWN DEADLINE LOOMS


WARNING!!!
ISDN SHUTDOWN DEADLINE IS HERE.
Businesses who don't start the process of migrating away from their ISDN lines now, risk getting caught in a massive bottleneck as the September deadline looms.

Line disconnections will start on September 30!

Just 76 DAYS away.
TIC is advising customers to migrate off ISDN immediately to ensure there is time to implement a new solution before the disconnection date.
There is only upside - financial and operational - to migrating now. The downside is major business disruption if migration does not occur before the ISDN disconnection dates.
The migration process can be time-consuming, with decision-making about a new solution, upgrading of equipment, and implementation. 
If a business waits for its final disconnection letter it will not have time to migrate before disconnection occurs!"
What does ISDN disconnection mean for business?
Businesses who currently utilise ISDN lines will need to move to a new technology. There may also be existing equipment within the infrastructure that will need to be upgraded. These could include the telephone system, fax machines, switches, alarms, or EFTPoS.
Whichever new technology is used it will need to be compatible with the NBN infrastructure. The choices will include:
  • Fibre
  • SIP
  • IP Telephony
  • UCaaS

Downtime, Outages and Failures - Understanding Their True Costs

Image
Telco outages  happen literally hundreds of times each month in Australia. At one stage or another, your business will be unlucky enough to find itself in the midst of an unplanned outage. How did this outage happen, what caused it? Good questions, however, while you are thinking those questions, the real question is: How is it affecting your bottom line, and when will it be fixed? Do you KNOW your service level agreements (SLA) for your services? In reality, the outage is caused by some unknown factor and completely outside your control, so how does that affect the SLA clause in your contract? In fact, there are many causes of telco outages ranging from faulty equipment in data centers, telecom exchanges or simply environmental issues such as floods or cable cuts.

Working From Home?

For those used to working casually at home and otherwise using a residential network for personal reasons, you might find that you need more than you have for constant calls, file transfers, and videoconferencing. Now is a terrific time to scrutinise your online setup. This includes your choice of internet provider, how much you are paying for their services, and whether the internet gear in your home is up to date. Do you have the right provider? Compare what each provider has to offer. Home workers may find that a high-speed downstream connection that works great for video streaming is paired with a low upload speed that can’t handle bidirectional video or file uploads and sync with work. You may be able to get your current provider to bump your plan up or you might need to switch. Lose the cap: Some RSPs impose a limit on how much data you can use each month, after which you are throttled to a lower speed, cut off, or pay overage fees. You should t
