The 7 questions IT & finance teams actually ask

IT-grade FAQ

No fluff. If it can't be answered with a number or a clause, it doesn't belong here.

Carrier delivery is the long pole — typically 6–8 weeks for EE / business fibre. The actual cut-over takes minutes once the new link is provisioned and tested.
4 hours mean-time-to-repair on Enterprise Ethernet, 8 hours on business fibre. We pick up local Mackay tickets ourselves — no offshore tier-1 queue.
Yes. Dual-carrier failover via Aussie Broadband + 4G/5G LTE backup, configured via SD-WAN. Tested quarterly during your maintenance window.
End-to-end. Carrier feasibility, lead-in cabling permits, DMARC build, IP allocation. You sign one MSA with us — we handle the rest.
Year-1 SLA-backed business-hours support is included. Extended 24×7 packs from $180/site/month with 1-hr critical response.
Yes — if it meets the carrier handoff spec. We test, configure and supply documentation. If it can't handle 1 Gbps line-rate, we'll quote a replacement.
We don't play quote-matching games. What we will do: audit their scope line-by-line and tell you exactly where our SLA, redundancy or carrier mix differ.
