Carriers and providers pay us 5% to 18% monthly when the city buys through us. The city's price is the same as going direct, and we tell you in writing how we get paid. See how we get paid.

The process, step by step

Six steps. The city stays in charge.

Most savings come from replacing something old, not from haggling over the same service. Here is how we run the search for you.

1

Tell us your buildings

Send your bills and a list of city buildings. We write down every internet line, phone line, cost and contract end date on one page.

2

We find every carrier that can serve you

We check which of 400+ carriers and platforms serve each address. What you can get depends on the building.

3

They compete for the city’s business

We get quotes from each carrier that serves each building. We work inside your bid or quote process and follow your purchasing rules.

4

You see every option

Price, term, install time and support for each option, in plain words. Jonathan recommends. The city decides.

5

We put it in

The city signs in its own name. We place the order, hold the install dates and handle the switch. The old service gets cancelled, and we check the first bill against the quote.

6

We stay on it

Repairs, moves and billing problems come to us. We check bills against the contract and start renewals no later than 90 days before the notice date.

Network and phones for city buildings

  • Dedicated internet: For City Hall, police, fire, utilities and the other buildings that can’t go down.
  • Two separate paths: A second internet line on a separate route, so one cut line doesn’t take the city offline.
  • SD-WAN: Ties all your sites together and switches to a backup line on its own if one goes down.
  • Phones and copper line replacement: Phone service for every building, and copper lines replaced as they are retired, including fire panels and elevators.
  • 5G backup and Starlink: Backup internet for sites that need to stay up, and for hard-to-reach locations.

IT, security and bills

  • Data center and cloud: Connections to data centers and the cloud if you are moving servers out of City Hall.
  • Managed IT: Hand IT to a provider, or back up the IT staff you have. We compare the providers.
  • Managed security: A 24/7 security team watches your network.
  • Bill audit: Written findings in 1 business day. No charge for a bill audit.
  • Buckeye Care: After the install, we check bills each month and track every contract date.
