Testimonials

   

We are the "Hotel of the Year" worldwide by Starwood hotels and the #1 Four Points in Guest Satisfaction two years running. The guest experience is a huge concern for us, We had many issues regarding our wireless internet. It was our number one complaint, in fact, we almost lost a $500,000 piece of business over our issues. After many months of trying to figure it out by increasing our bandwidth, replacing our gateway servers and WAPS, we were still not quite there.

When we installed the Elfiq, our issues practically dissapeared.  Not only did the device work well and played a large part in the solution, along with saving the hotel money, the support team during and after the installation was the most educated, professional staff I have dealt with in 17 years of dealing with various support teams and they helped us integrate our total solution.  I am a huge fan and would be happy to be added to your referral list. 

With our awards etc... any issue is a big one, and with the Elfiq, it helped us quickly resolve and focus on the guest and driving revenues.  Particularly the install rep, via phone, as we had many on site IT people fixing our solution, even stated how impressed they were with him. Look him up and give him another thank you from the Four Points that amazes.

For years GSB's Internet experience was rather slow and anemic due to only having a T1 line servicing about 300+ workstations. It would be nice to simply upgrade to a T3 line but the costs were just unreal for us. Enter Elfiq. While there were a few vendors that do what Elfiq does, none of them came close to pricing, support, and ease of use. Elfiq's Link Balancer solution made it a "no-brainer". With a one time installation process, you can begin adding additional bandwidth to your existing network without any internal changes!
