subject: Avoiding Lesser-quality Rhode Island Telecom Companies And Business Internet Service Providers In Ri [print this page] Much as it may be a rather unpleasant thought to contend with, the unfortunate truth of the matter is that for every excellent and elite Rhode Island Ethernet service provider on the market today, there is another quite to the contrary. The trouble is of course the way in which each and every T1 Line specialist and general Metro Ethernet service will bill itself as the only authority to turn to when looking for fast Ethernet of the highest order. Sadly, words always have been and always will be cheap to some, which means that taking any given gigabit Ethernet service at face value can be dangerous.
This isnt to say that locating a truly worthy service provider has to be difficult however, as it really only involves a little common sense and an awareness of what the business needs. In addition, it is also crucially important to understand some of the red-flag warning signs signaling a provider should be avoided at all costs, which include but are certainly not limited to the following:
Short Time in the Business
One for debate to begin with, how long any given VPLS or T3 Line specialist has been in the business may not be most important consideration of all, but it can be said with confidence that the longer and more solid their history, the higher the chances of excellent service this time around. As such, it is important to exercise significant caution when considering businesses that appear to have only just started their inexperience could prove to be YOUR downfall.
Up-Front Payments
One of the most serious danger signs of all, if a DSL specialist is demanding an extensive sums of money in advance of actually providing any services, chances are they are covering their own backs in advance. Any provider with the slightest level of confidence in its services and packages will be willing to offer fairly arranged payment schedules to follow or coincide with work never demanding payment in advance. Pay up front from substandard work and chances are you will never see the money again.
Poor Website
These businesses live and breathe the internet every hour of every day period. As such, it really isnt too much to expect the company website to be a shining beacon of professionalism and flawless design quality, free of spelling mistakes and general errors that give anything but the right first impression. If the site seems to have been created by amateurs, move on.
Zero Guarantees
Full and comprehensive guarantees can and therefore must be offered on everything, from VoIP packages to massive satellite internet services and everything else besides. This is something of an almost global standard now and assures quality performance those failing to offer such guarantees are therefore guaranteeing no such thing.
Lack of Feedback
And finally, the only voices that really matter and should be used to influence the decision made are those of past and present satisfied clients which of course should be available in abundance. As such, if the services provider has a distinct lack of positive feedback, write-ups that look distinctly home-made or simple no feedback on display whatsoever, think about why this might be.
