Alternative carriers to BT provide access to a more cost effective means of communication. Due to fierce competition between carriers the company offering the best tariff is constantly changing. Unless customers switch carrier on a regular basis they will not benefit from ongoing cost reductions. In many cases this degree of flexibility is not possible due to a lack of resource; this is where UT Solutions can assist. As an Aggregator UT Solutions manage our clients call traffic on a daily basis using only those carriers who remain competitive within the marketplace at any given time. The majority of service providers would have clients believe that the LCR market is all about rate, the cheapest tariff governs the best deal. Unfortunately “airtime/bandwidth” is not a commodity that varies in cost alone. There are real differences in line quality. All service providers, including British Telecom compress. Those that do so above 5:1 run the risk of providing a sub-standard level of service. In simple terms should a service provider compress beyond 5:1 the client may experience difficulty in connecting with their destination number. All Network Operators and Tier 1 resellers compress at 5:1 or below minimizing the likelihood of their users experiencing connectivity problems. Within the confines of Network Operators and Tier 1 resellers differences in rate / tariff signal particular strengths and weaknesses;. where a carrier has an abundance of capacity to particular destinations they offer more competitive rates as opposed to those destinations where they have little or no capacity and are reliant upon a third party / another carrier to deliver their clients calls. As an Aggregator UT Solutions manage our client’s calls, routing them with whatever carrier offers the best wholesale rate without compromising connectivity - we cherry pick. |
