Let’s explore the two! Both super beneficial for businesses but in different ways. So first off – let’s remind you what a leased line is! A leased line is a broadband connection that flows straight from your Internet Service Provider directly to your business. It’s a private connection just for your business – you don’t have to share with others, like…

Winter often means one thing for GP surgeries – sickness levels through the roof! And with that comes more Doctor’s appointments.

We’ve been talking a lot about leased lines lately because they are a frontline option for any business or organisation wanting to have the very best connectivity. Recently, we’ve been explaining why they’re a better option for the internet than standard broadband. We’ve been comparing them to FTTP to help you work out which is a more suitable option for your business.…

A quick summary If you aren’t up to speed with what FTTP is, we’ve got an entire blog here to bring you up to speed. Or if you’d prefer a whistlestop…
If you’ve been hunting around for an internet upgrade for your business, it’s pretty likely you’ll have stumbled across the term ‘leased line’. These are growing in popularity among many businesses – and with good reason. But what actually is a leased line? And are they really worth investing in versus other standard broadband options? Let’s take a look. How…
We aren’t saying anything new by telling you that fibreoptic broadband is the way forward. Today, it’s widely understood that businesses wanting a reliable connection with high speeds should be turning to fibre. In fact, with the ‘Big Switch Off’ fast approaching (by 2025 all traditional PSTN and ISDN will be phased out) it’s a no-brainer that businesses need to…

It can be a real nightmare when your business’s phone stops working – particularly in today’s world where you likely rely on it to connect with customers, colleagues and other stakeholders. We’ve all been here: rummaging around in wires connected to who-knows-what, dialling and testing, plugging and unplugging, all for nothing to make any difference. Begrudgingly, you head to social…
It comes as no surprise that businesses, in all shapes and forms, want to keep their costs as manageable as possible. There are a lot of overheads to consider – from payroll, to buying stock, to renting office space – but something that’s easy to overlook is your telephone line. Yes, you might use it every day. Yes, you might have…
With the flexibility and convenience it offers, not to mention the money it can save businesses on hiring office space, it is little wonder that remote working has remained popular even after the Covid pandemic. Despite this, remote working can come with a whole new set of challenges, from effective communication to collaborating as a team. Univerge Blue Connect tackles…
With the worry of a recession looming and inflation stubbornly refusing to shrink, 2023 is predicted to be a tough year for everyone, businesses included.

Consider remote working If your business allows, consider having your workforce…
The big copper line switch off began this year with BT no longer installing traditional copper phone lines from September, in preparation for the dissolution of the entire network in 2025. This means that telephone landlines as we know them will no longer be operational, marking the biggest change in the telecoms industry in 30 years. Understandably this can be…
Well, the short answer is…every business! As it’s scalable and versatile, as well as significantly more cost effective than traditional phone lines, a VoIP phone system is a brilliant option for a variety of businesses, no matter their industry or size. We’ve put together a few examples of how these benefits can be applied to help different businesses. Remote or…
Since the pandemic, working from home or hybrid working has become more popular than ever and offers a range of benefits to both employers and employees. However, one downside of remote work is that it can be more difficult to communicate within your team. If you find yourself struggling with this, you’re in luck as we’ve pulled together our top…
It feels like half a lifetime ago that we started talking about the great ISDN switch off and yet here we are at the first great milestone! 2023 is the year that BT stop installing any brand new traditional copper phone lines, in preparation for the dissolution of the entire network in 2025. If it feels like the end of an…

And it’s working! Staff are happier and stick around longer, employers are finding more efficiencies and a more productive workforce: win-win. The question is: are you doing it…
With the festive season upon us and the new year fast approaching, it’s the perfect time to take stock, review your business and start to make decisions for the upcoming year, particularly with an economic downturn on the horizon. If there is one resolution that should be at the top of your list, it’s switching to a VoIP phone system.…
Every year scam calls get more sophisticated, and in a time of economic downturn, this is set to get worse as they pose as government funded help and loan companies. Globally, the estimated cost of telephone fraud is £25 billion, and whilst we are cautious about not falling victim by answering one of these calls, people often forget the damage…
With more than half of UK households owning a pet, it’s clear that we are a nation of animal lovers. Animals are part of the family, and this means they’re included in all the holidays with the Christmas season being no exception! Though a fun time of year, winter comes with its own risks, from more challenging conditions for outside…
Let’s face it, telephone communications systems aren’t that sexy. To us, of course they are but even we can appreciate that the majority of business owners might not feel that excited about them! In fact, they’re more often than not seen as a necessary evil, something without the obvious appeal of the latest software or shiny new mobile phones and top notch tech. It’s safe…
When we first started talking about the ISDN switch off in 2025, it seemed like a LONG way away. But here we are, just two years out from that looming deadline and the reality is that if your school is currently using multiple phone lines on the traditional network, you’re probably going to need to change systems. A great option for schools…
It’s no secret that the NHS is currently up against it.

Both in maintaining the very best patient care as well as taking…

As we come out of the heat of Summer and the weather starts shifting, the nights draw in and the schools start back, demand for GP services continues to creep on up. Whether it’s annual flu jabs or Covid boosters to co-ordinate or an increase in general enquiries as patients succumb to the changing seasons and the illnesses it brings (likely…
‘Flexible!’ ‘Remote!’ ‘Hybrid!’ A quick scour of LinkedIn’s job pages shows just how much the British workforce has changed over the last few years. No longer just in exceptional circumstances, working out of the office – at least some of the time – is a must have for the majority of employees. And with some 78% of them reporting a better work…
As of June 2022, 59% of all British households have a pet of some kind! That’s a whopping 34 million domestic animals across 17 million households which creates a whole lot of natural demand on the UK’s veterinary surgeries. And then you add Summer into the mix. Just as GPs surgeries see surges in demand during the balmy Summer months as humans…

It’s no secret that the UKs healthcare system is under immense pressure in 2022 – the pandemic hit an already stretched service and the last few years have taken their toll on staff across the NHS. With doctors and nurses leaving faster than the health service can replace them, significant funding issues and a growing population, patients are drawing the short…
2022 is looking like an increasingly tough year for businesses. With inflation predicted to top 11%, energy bills soaring and people spending less and less to weather the cost of living storm, it’s easy to feel quite despondent about the outlook. BUT there are always small ways to adapt, adjust and maybe save a few pounds along the way and this year…
Whether you’ve been prompted by the 2025 conventional analogue and ISDN lines switching off date creeping ever closer or have been pushed into considering new ways of working as a result of the last couple of years, now might be a great time to switch your traditional phone system over to something new, agile, flexible. But where to begin? Installing a…
FluBot first burst onto the malware scene in Summer 2021, flooding our SMS with fake ‘failed parcel’ delivery messages in an unscrupulous bid to install data stealing Trojans onto Android phones. The fake message contains a link, which when clicked on downloads malware onto your device. Once installed, the FluBot Trojan can access your credit and debit card details to clear you…
It’s been a while since Webinars have been the coolest kid on the business block but the last couple of years have given the humble webinar a new lease of life. Done right, webinars are an incredibly effective way of growing your customer base, anywhere in the world. Between 2019 and 2021 some 62% of online businesses were using webinars to…
Hybrid working is going nowhere, it’s here to stay. For businesses looking to save money and for staff wanting a more balanced life, it’s the perfect solution. So how do you build a communications system to match? On-site phone systems were built for another time: an age when business was conducted exclusively from an office and predominantly by phone. Whilst many businesses…
As the adage goes, when times are tough, we tighten our belts. But is that always the right approach for a business? We believe that effective decision making is largely about spending your money in the right way, rather than not investing at all.

Schools up and down the country had to work unbelievably hard during the pandemic to educate the nations kids and keep mums and dads in the loop as they tried to home school – it’s been relentless! One of the key learning points from the last few years has been the absolute pivotal importance of having a robust, agile and…
The last couple of years have asked a lot of business communications. Systems have had to quickly get smoother, slicker, more streamlined and with infinite remote capabilities to deal with both dispersed staff and remote customers. Comms systems have been shifting into the cloud for around 7 years. The shift gathered speed of course during the pandemic. More staff working from home…
It’s something of an understatement to say that the last few years have been hard going for GP surgeries! If we’ve learnt anything from the challenges surgeries have faced throughout the pandemic, it’s that having a robust, agile, up to date communications system is essential not just for day to day operations but in the face of crises too. In fact,…
According to Action Fraud, the annual cost of telephone fraud in the UK is around £17 BILLION, it’s almost unfathomable. Scammers are of course getting more and more sophisticated and ruthless but as we see unprecedented cost of living rises coupled with astronomical growth in energy bills in the UK, scammers are also getting more opportunistic and desperate. So how do you…
We don’t have to journey back far to a time when ‘hybrid working’ was a lofty fantasy for office staff across the UK. Before 2020, employers simply weren’t as invested in enabling staff to work remotely. Not due to an absence of technology – the infrastructure for home working isn’t new – rather a fear that employees working out of the office…
In a pivotal moment for the telecommunications industry, BTs planned switch off of the old ISDN network in 2025 is fast approaching. In fact, the move away from this outdated tech is already well underway with many areas now not selling new copper lines at all and the existing lines quickly becoming defunct. This shift is creating incredible opportunities for the…
Inflation in the UK is soaring. Rising at the fastest rate since the 2008 financial crash, businesses in every sector are feeling the pinch with the price of everything from raw materials to transportation to staffing going up. Throw a hefty hike in energy prices into the mix – increases of almost 30% for gas and 20% for electricity during…
With some fundamental differences to domestic energy contracts and without the consumer protections offered to private customers, navigating the world of business energy contracts can be confusing at best, downright baffling at worst. With over three decades of business experience, let us try to demystify the world of commercial energy supply contracts for you. It’s all in the small print…
It’s a simple enough question, but did you know? If you didn’t, then we’re pretty sure that you’re not in the minority, but the truth is, it’s happening a little sooner than you may think! BT’s current plan is to cease the installation of ISDN lines nationally in 2023, but many areas are now “stop sell” where new copper lines can’t…
As a business you’ll want to be as productive as possible. A large part of that will be making sure that your staff members have the processes, procedures and systems in place in order to make that goal a reality. When it comes to communication your phone system is at the heart of it all; it allows you to communicate…
Peaking at 5.1 million in January 2021, there are still millions of staff across the UK that find themselves on the Government’s Furlough scheme. Currently being phased out, the system is set to come to an end in September 2021, at which point millions of workers will have to pick up where they left off. Office spaces are likely to…
Whether you call it flexible, remote, or hybrid working, there’s no denying that before 2020, it just wasn’t a realistic option for so many office staff across the UK. Not due to an absence of technology – the infrastructure for home working isn’t new – rather a workplace culture that didn’t believe teams were able to communicate effectively over distance,…
Trying to compare the cost of your home telephone system or mobile phone deal is a minefield all on its own. Throw in the complexities of a business communications system and the extended playing field of providers at commercial level and it can be almost impossible to ascertain whether you’re paying too much for your business calls. In most cases,…
Pretty much all businesses take their telephone communications systems for granted. Sometimes seen as a necessary evil, the office phone system doesn’t have the same sex appeal as the constantly evolving tech bubble of mobile phones, other devices and shiny new computers. Consequently, upgrading a phone system at regular intervals or even properly evaluating the current set up tends to…
Surgeries up and down the UK have experienced an extraordinary (some might say unprecedented) surge in call volume over the last 12 months. From concerned patients checking symptoms to worried family members wondering how to deal with COVID concerns to vaccination questions and that’s on top of the usual high level of calls and queries all surgeries receive in a…
With students easing back into the school environment, parents adjusting from home schooling back into the world of work and teachers juggling classroom teaching with ongoing staff absence, it is more important than ever that your school’s communication system is able to deal with whatever is thrown at it this year. You are likely to experience a higher than normal…
Even before the start of the Coronavirus pandemic, there was a worldwide shift starting towards working remotely or from home. Although COVID-19 has certainly accelerated the movement, with all of us having to shift our attitudes and working practices rapidly, it’s actually working out incredibly well for many employers and employees. Over 76% of people working from home surveyed recently…
We’re excited to be one of the first providers in the UK to offer an innovative new system that will help local businesses adapt to new working habits due to the pandemic. Equations Voice and Data Communications, based in North Devon and Somerset, will be offering the innovative NEC Univerge Blue system that launched at the end of March this…
If we’ve learnt anything from the challenges faces by surgeries throughout the Coronavirus pandemic it’s that having a robust, versatile, modern communications system is more than just a luxury. It’s an absolute necessity in maintaining the very best patient care as well as taking care of heavily burdened staff during a national emergency. We found that those surgeries who had…
The past 12 months have been hectic; there’s been highs, many lows and a lot of change. Things have often been done or carried out as an emergency response to events happening around us. However, with the vaccine rollout in full swing and the roadmap out of lockdown hitting its targets thus far, now may be the time to access…
If you go back just a few short years, many businesses would have been resistant to the idea of employees working predominantly from home. Fears that employees would feel disconnected from the company’s values, separated from colleagues and be less productive were understandable in a world where the majority of us commuted to work and carried it out in the…
Over the last 12 months, schools have really had to roll with the punches when it comes to adapting their working practices. This has meant embracing huge changes in the way they communicate with colleagues, parents and pupils, often using new technology to continue to teach and meet parental demands. Many schools may have already introduced a VoIP system to…
As we humans have battled with the changes the COVID-19 pandemic has thrown at us, so have pets across the world. Over the past year a surge in pet ownership, combined with spending more time at home with our furry loved ones has meant that veterinary surgeries throughout the UK are dealing with more and more calls from concerned owners,…
2020 was the year the country proved it could work remotely. With so many businesses big and small realising the benefits and the not insignificant cost savings of working more flexibly, it’s looking like 2021 will be the year thousands of companies further evolve and perfect their home working practices and processes to embrace this new normal. A key part…
With many schools across England looking set to join our neighbours in Wales and Scotland by starting to reopen in March, is your school ready? With two weeks to go, it’s likely that you’ll start to see a surge in calls from parents trying to get to grips with yet another new normal. The increase in call volume is likely…
Whether trying to manage staff absence through sickness or self-isolation, staying on top of the rollout of free school meals to children and young people in the community, monitoring pupil levels in school on a daily basis or communicating effectively with parents and pupils trying to learn and educate at home, there is no doubt that the Coronavirus pandemic is…
Even without the unique challenges of 2020’s global pandemic, call volumes to GP surgeries inevitably ramp during the winter months with the onset of a large number of seasonal illnesses. Of course, this year that volume is reaching unprecedented levels with heightened sickness in the community as well as increased staff absence due to Covid infection, self-isolation or shielding. So…
As 2020 progressed and the Coronavirus pandemic deepened, more and more staff were required to work from home regardless of industry, sector, geographical location or size. Throughout the year businesses demonstrated that by modernising working practices and embracing modern technology to its fullest extent, they were able to quickly and easily move to a flexible working arrangement without loss of…
In an unprecedented year, businesses have faced innumerable challenges to adapt how they work, sometimes simply to survive. One thing that has become clear is that early adopters of new technology and working practices have been able to weather the Coronavirus pandemic better than those who’ve had to play catch up. The key to communication success when it comes to…
Whenever they’re getting started, small businesses need all the help they can get to survive. As many as eight out of ten small businesses fail within the first 18 months. In 2020, a year where global economies have been decimated by the coronavirus pandemic, it’s an even tougher environment out there for most small businesses. While there are government schemes…
During a normal winter, staffing levels are always erratic in the winter months, with the usual winter bugs like flu and colds going around. 2020 looks to be even worse, with people showing coronavirus symptoms potentially having to self-isolate for days while waiting for their test results to come back. December is also a popular time for staff to use…
Businesses of all sizes face communication issues from time to time. The challenge facing small and medium companies are often greater as they just don’t have the resources necessary to completely tackle the problem. Not having the right resources in place has only aggravated the risk from potential communication problems. These issues can range from customers being unable to easily…
Just as the coronavirus pandemic has reshaped our working environments and more or less every other aspect of our lives, it’s reshaped our schools and forced teachers and parents to adapt to a new kind of learning space. As with any other period, the safety of both children and staff is essential to how a school is run. During the…

The Covid-19 global pandemic has made us reassess a huge number of things both in our personal lives and across society. One thing it has definitely highlighted is how feasible it is for many of us to work from home more often, if not permanently. With the second lockdown and a potentially difficult winter ahead, working from home looks like…
The lead up to Christmas is normally a great time of year for many of us, with food, gifts and retail therapy. That means that November and December are among the busiest months for so many of the UK’s biggest sectors, particularly retail and hospitality. A second lockdown may have thrown original plans into chaos, but come what may, many…
Towards the end of September, the Prime Minister Boris Johnson instructed people to return to working from home as and where possible, sending thousands of people back from their offices to remote working again. Not coming into the workplace every day and working from home can be jarring for many, with the transition to working at home for the next…
There’s a lot of scaremongering going on in the press since Boris Johnson announced the latest round of COVID-19 measures, including the new three tier lockdown system. In many of his recent speeches, the Prime Minister said the UK was in for a tough winter because of the implications of Coronavirus. There could be added stresses on our healthcare system…
If you run a business and want to make things work as smoothly as possible during these unusual and unprecedented times, you’ll need technology that lives up to your needs and systems that are robust enough to deal with changing work conditions.

BT is planning to “switch off” the UK’s entire traditional phone line network by 2025, which means switching over from a standard phone system to a phone system running over the internet is inevitable. Now might not seem like the ideal time to have to update your phone system, with the Coronavirus pandemic having widespread effects on the community. However,…
In any business, the ability to communicate with clients and customers is essential to your success.

Did you know that BT is planning to “switch off” the UK’s entire traditional phone line network by 2025? Five years might sound like a long time, but the reality is that if you rely on traditional phone lines for your business, the switch off means you’ll probably need to change your telephony to internet-capable phones by 2025. With the…
