The Cost of Unreliable WiFi

Unreliable WiFi slows your people down, frustrates customers and exposes your organisation to risk. Slow speeds, drop-outs and blackspots quickly turn into lost revenue, poor service and extra pressure on your IT team.

  • Lost productivity when staff cannot access systems, apps and cloud services
  • Poor customer and guest experience in offices, venues, retail and hospitality spaces
  • Security risks from unmanaged access points and unsecured guest networks
  • Time-consuming, reactive support as IT teams firefight WiFi issues
  • Limited visibility and control across multiple sites and devices
  • Difficulty scaling as your organisation, headcount and locations grow

Frequently asked questions

MPF (Metallic Path Facility) delivers phone and broadband over existing copper lines but uses different exchange equipment from traditional PSTN services. This means your analogue phones, alarms and card machines can continue to work, even through the PSTN switch off, making it a practical and cost‑effective option while you plan your journey to an all‑IP future.

No. Unlike standard PSTN lines, MPF services are not affected in the same way because they do not rely on the PSTN network. MPF is often chosen by businesses needing to keep analogue devices running during the transition to IP-based services.

Business Numbers are non‑geographic numbers such as 0800, 03 or 0845.
