vDSL – Specialist connections for VoIP
NBCN Networks recognises that sometimes the mainstream offerings just aren’t good enough.
When important elements of your organisation rely on technology, sometime it pays to look at specialist provision.
Voice over IP (VoIP) is particularly demanding and will not provide an acceptable level of service if the
transport mechanism is sub-standard. Most broadband offerings from mainstream providers are geared to mass
markets and do not usually take account of the demands you place on mission critical circuits.
Contention rates are poor and the support and monitoring available on most broadband offerings is totally inadequate.
Now there is an option. We have put together a range of products to provide not just the fastest and most reliable connections
available, but that are also backed by an impressive help desk and remote monitoring solution. There are 3 grades available; NetCORE, NetMAX & NetEssential.
All 3 variants feature
- A Dedicated 24 x 7 unlimited internet access
- High data transmission rates
- Unlimited upload usage
- Low contention
- Up to 8 Static Ip addresses
- Preconfigured, ‘Plug and Go’ 4 Port Firewall/Router – (1 Port Router supplied On NetEssential)
- No Port blocking or Traffic Shaping
- SMTP access for any domain
- Fully Redundant Network
- Dedicated Technical Support
- No Activation Fees
- No migration fees for customer moving to FulcrumNet from another provider
- Realtime network monitoring
So which is the best option for my organisation?
With 3 options available, we need to be able to compare the offerings, feature by feature, to see what is the best solution.
Below is a table outlining all of the key differentiators and showing how each feature applies to each offering. Upgrades between
packages are allowed at any time.
