Questions about Converged Voice and Data

How do you monitor jitter and packet loss on voice assured connections?

The target level for Jitter is <±45ms. In order for voice to be intelligible, consecutive voice packets must arrive at regular intervals. Jitter describes the degree of variability in packet arrivals, which can be caused by bursts of data traffic or just too much traffic on the line. The target level for Packet Loss is <2%. Packet Loss is measured in terms of packet delivery and is defined as the percentage of packets sent that reach their destination within a certain time. Packet loss is a common occurrence in data networks, but devices/applications are designed to simply request a retransmission of lost packets. Voice traffic can tolerate no more than a three percent loss of packets before callers experience disconcerting gaps in conversation.

What is the fault repair time on broadband used for voice services?

Understanding the importance of voice connectivity, we have set a stringent SLA which governs our Assured connections. Assured broadband, which includes a managed Cisco router, has a 22-hour SLA fix time. Router replacements are targeted for the next working day. All our circuits are diagnostic checked from our network as soon as a fault is reported.

Can we move our existing broadband connection to UK IT Networks?

Moving your existing broadband connection to us is very simple. You no longer need to ask for a specific code from your incumbent, the transition is driven by us. We have a specialist provisioning team who will make the migration and update you along the way.

What is the resilience of your broadband network?

We only place our broadband connections on networks that are 'business broadband exclusive'. This ensures that our network is not heavily congested with residential internet usage, allowing your business to benefit from high speeds through the network at all times.

Do we need to take your broadband connection to have your IP services?

Having your broadband with us isn’t compulsory, however, is very much encouraged. Not only do we make our IP offerings more commercially attractive for you to move both, supporting your IP services is dependant in your internet connectivity. Poor internet leads to poor quality of calls and managing both allows us to maximise uptime and provide a single point of contact.
