port drops or something out of the norm happens
on the network our engineers are notified
immediately via email and SMS. We can instantly
see what that problem is and work to resolve
it.
If a customer’s port does drop or
starts recording errors, then they will
be notified as soon as possible to let them
know they have a problem with their connection.
We will then work with the customer to see
if it is a problem at their end or a problem
on the port. If it is their end, we can
then help them to get their equipment back
online.
We can offer an additional monitoring service
where the customer is notified immediately
via SMS of any problems on their port.
