New customer testimonial: Shular Companies

From one of our customers:

"..I thought I should tell you what a difference the Elfiq units have made at our hotels. Take the Hampton Inn Gulfport, MS, for example. This Hampton has 178 rooms with heavy military occupancy (30 to 60 rooms on average, most staying for 10 days or more before shipping out). Gulfport is a jumping off place for the Middle East. Our Military guests are heavy internet users – everything from e-mails to live streaming videos of friends and families. Since the Hampton has a 100% satisfaction guarantee (no questions asked … you get your money back if you are unhappy with your stay) we cannot afford internet problems. Slow connections or bandwidth hogging is simply not acceptable in our situation.

Until we installed the Elfiq unit (one of 8 we purchased for our larger properties) we had a difficult time providing sufficient bandwidth. Now we combine dynamic phone lines (voice over IP T-1, with any bandwidth not in use by a phone channel being dynamically available for regular internet usage) with a data T-1, and a cable modem. This combination of different vendors and different types of lines not only provides fail over, but also gives us a degree of Vendor independence (3 different vendors in our case).

And a great bonus for us has been the reporting features of the Elfiq unit which allows us to see which vendors are carrying the traffic, at what speeds, as well as their downtimes. Great tool!

We have been using the Elfiq units for almost a year … we were ahead of the curve and very thankful that we were."
