That’s right. As technology advances it’s now possible to get a broadband connection without the line rental element, which means you only pay for the broadband and not the line.

This type of broadband is called SoGEA and it’s important to remember that it’s a data connection only. So, you won’t be able to make telephone calls in the same way but it will still be possible once you’ve upgraded your hardware to the latest tech.

A more in-depth explanation about SoGEA can be found on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fF-RUvos4c and in our news article: https://hubtelit.co.uk/sogeabroadband/

If your existing telephone system is still relatively new then it’s likely that it will be compatible with Cloud based technology. In that case, we simply port your existing telephone numbers into the Cloud and program your hardware to adapt.

Passwords should never include personal information or be so predictable that they can be guessed. Good passwords are at least 14 character long and contain a mix of lowercase and uppercase letters, and also punctuation. Stay away from single words and opt for phrases instead.

In addition, it is important to note that cyber security should be at the heart of your IT set up and your password is your first line of defence against hackers. Therefore, don’t be tempted to go for something just because it’s easy to remember – cyber crime is not going away.

As a general rule of thumb, it is recommended to replace your computer approximately every 4 years. However, this timeline is subject to your specific usage and the initial specifications of your computer.

For businesses that heavily rely on hardware, it might be worth considering implementing a Rolling Replacement Plan. This approach allows for more efficient management of costs and installations.

Yes, it is absolutely possible. All current telephone systems are fully compatible with a specially designed app that can be easily downloaded to your mobile phone.

This means you can conveniently take and manage your work calls directly from your mobile phone, ensuring maximum flexibility and accessibility. So, no matter where you are, you can stay connected and productive without any hassle.
