New ISP

[mdrabble]

Our current Leased line is due for renewal towards the end of Jan 2024, so I am starting to look at alternatives now, so I can get things sorted before the 90 day notice period!

 

Currently using M247 and apart from a sligh blip now and then, they have provided a rock solid service.

 

So, apart from Cost.... I'm looking for the following.

 

1gb connection with redundacy

QoS enabled for our on Prem 3CX system.

Free Fortigate device with decent reporting ( I can live in hope )

Some form of DDOS protection - which doesnt cost and arm and a leg!

 

Can my fellow edugekers, please let me know who they use, along with their experiences please.

 

Cheers

Wave9 supply our Internet connection (basically a 1Gb Virgin FTTP line), our firewall, filtering and we also have support with them. While we've had some issues with our supplied Sophos XG unit, we cannot fault them on their support, they've been excellent. We have a cloud 3CX host and they've configured our firewall for that too. We don't have DDOS protection though.

Once you have a lower price, tell the original ISP and they're bound to match it, prices from Openreach drop all the time, and they rarely pass on the savings to you
