Our story

Why we started — and why it still matters.

Buckeye Telecom was built on a simple idea: Ohio businesses deserve better than the carrier-driven, one-size-fits-all approach that has dominated telecom and IT for decades. Too many owners were sold long contracts, oversized circuits, and support lines that led nowhere.

So we built something different — a carrier-neutral, locally owned firm with engineers, not salespeople, answering the phone. Twenty-three years later, we still work for our clients, not a carrier. We say no to what doesn't fit, even when it would be profitable for us, and we measure ourselves by one thing: do our clients stay? They do.

Leadership

Jonathan Eubanks, President

Jonathan leads every aspect of Buckeye Telecom — operations, strategy, and client relationships — hands-on. Partner with Buckeye and you work with the president of the company, backed by a deep team of engineers, account managers, and support specialists.

How we’re staffed

Our specialists, plus the carriers’ — on every engagement.

You get Buckeye’s own specialists working alongside the engineering teams of the carriers and platforms we place — brought in as the project needs them, all directed by Jonathan as your single point of accountability. You get the right expert for the work, without carrying a payroll to get it.

Network Engineering

SD-WAN, multi-site connectivity, and circuit cutovers — designed and executed.

Voice & UCaaS

Hosted voice, Teams Phone, and number porting — planned around your call flows.

Security & SOC

24/7 monitoring, MFA, endpoint, and audit-ready documentation.

Project Management

Multi-site rollouts coordinated to a date — not a “we’ll get to it.”

Expense & Contracts

Invoice audits, renewals, and carrier negotiations that claw back spend.

One point of accountability

Jonathan owns the relationship end to end — you never chase a vendor.

…and 100+ more. We’re not tied to any of them — which is exactly why our recommendation is yours, not theirs.

What we promise

Every client, every time.

Real engineers answer

A real person on our team picks up — no offshore queues, no phone tree.

Carrier-neutral, every time

We compare 100+ providers and recommend only what fits — never a house brand.

No lock-in you don’t need

We don’t bury you in long contracts where a shorter term serves you better.

Straight answers

We tell you what you need — and just as often, what you don’t.

One point of contact

A team that knows your business and your sites, not a new rep every quarter.

We’ll point you right

If we’re not the best fit for something, we’ll tell you who is.

In the community

We invest in Central Ohio beyond business.
