Struggling to upgrade your broadband base efficiently? Giacom and Sky Business Wholesale offer a streamlined solution that saves you time and resource.
Introducing Giacom Easy Switching, the smarter, simpler way to migrate broadband services with minimal disruption. Designed for the channel, this solution takes the complexity out of supplier transitions.
Exclusively available on Sky Business Wholesale broadband, Giacom Easy Switching offers partner and customer benefits that make All-IP migration easier than ever before.
How does Easy Switching work?
Traditionally, when switching broadband suppliers, you need to enter specific login details (called Radius credentials) to get online. If these details don’t match, the connection fails. Each user typically needs a unique username and password.
But with Easy Switching, this process is much easier. Once the service is active, any connection attempt from the user’s router will be accepted, with no need to check or match the usual login details.
This means you don’t need a unique username or password, just enter any placeholder details to satisfy the router setup. As a result, you don’t need to send an engineer out to set up your customers’ router, making migrations and supplier switches faster and hassle-free.
Plus, your customers won’t experience much downtime as there’s no lengthy configuration process, just a few minutes to switch the service over remotely.
Why choose Easy Switching?
With Easy Switching, you can change suppliers without the headache. There’s no need to replace or reconfigure routers and no engineer visits required. The result? Minimal customer downtime, from just 30 seconds, and significant cost savings of up to £300 per order*.
You can also perform mass migrations with Easy Switching, supported by Giacom’s All-IP Managed Service (AIMS). Our team of experts will manage everything from migration planning to order placement, proactively managing any potential issues that arise and keeping you updated throughout the process. This enables you to dedicate your resource to winning deals and growing your business.
