Connectivity advice

The right internet connection, at the right price

Paying for speed you do not get? Is your contract about to renew without you noticing? Or does the connection falter just when it is busy? An IT Label Expert finds out and advises on the best connection and provider for your building.

Sound familiar?

Internet connections were often arranged years ago, by someone who no longer works there. A lot has changed since then: in how you use it, in the technology and in the market.

  • You pay for 1 Gbit/s, but it feels a lot slower.
  • The connection drops just when everyone is on a video call.
  • Nobody knows exactly which contracts are running, and when they end.
  • Contracts are renewed automatically, at the old price.
  • You have several locations, each with its own provider and conditions.
  • There is no backup: if the line goes down, the office stops.

How we go about it

From a pile of invoices to clear advice, in five steps.

  1. Inventory

    We collect your contracts and invoices and map every connection: provider, speed, price, term and notice period.

  2. Measurement

    On site we measure what you actually get: speed up and down, latency and stability, also at busy times.

  3. Market scan

    We check what is available at your address: fibre, business options, a second route and backup connections.

  4. Advice

    You receive a clear report: keep, renegotiate, switch or add a backup. With priorities and the next steps.

  5. Guidance

    If you wish, we request quotes, compare them fairly and check after the switch whether you get what was promised.

What you get

  • One overview of all connections and subscriptions, per location.
  • Measured versus agreed: do you get the speed and quality you pay for?
  • Hidden costs, duplicate subscriptions and services you no longer use.
  • All end dates and notice periods, so you never renew automatically again without knowing it.
  • Specific advice on provider, type of connection, SLA and redundancy.
  • A fair comparison of quotes, if you want to switch.

Who is it for?

For owners who arrange the connection for the whole building, tenants who take out their own subscription, business centre operators for whom the connection is the product, and investors with several buildings.

Why an IT Label Expert?

We look beyond the contract

A fast line is of little use if the cabling or WiFi in the building is the bottleneck. We know the building from the meter cupboard to the roof, so our advice covers the whole chain.

We speak both languages

Providers talk about Mbit/s, SLAs and contention ratios. You want to know whether it works and what it costs. We translate one into the other.

Directly linked to the IT-Label

Connectivity is one of the six components of the IT-Label. A better connection can therefore also lead to a higher label for your building.

Questions

Is your question not listed? Just send it to us.

Can I save money with this?

That depends on your current contracts. Sometimes you pay for capacity you do not use, or for services you no longer need. Sometimes an upgrade is actually needed. You always get honest advice, even if your current situation is fine.

Do I have to switch provider?

No. Sometimes renegotiating with your current provider is enough, or adding a backup connection. We advise, you decide.

What do you need from me?

Recent invoices and contracts, and access to the building for a measurement. We take care of the rest.

Does this also work for several locations?

Yes. Especially then it pays to bring everything into one overview, with clear end dates and comparable conditions.

What does it cost?

That depends on the number of locations and connections. You receive a fixed price in advance. Request a proposal.
