What we do

Newer technology, lower costs

The service is often much the same from one provider to the next. What changes is the price, and who picks up when something breaks. So we start with your bills: a review in 1 business day, and connectivity quotes from the carriers that serve each of your addresses.

Then we look at what could be better. That might be cloud calling in place of an old phone system, fiber and SD-WAN in place of copper and private lines, servers moved out of the closet, AI answering the routine calls, or IT handed to a managed provider. We partner with the best-of-breed providers in each of those areas, so we can pick the one that fits instead of the one we happen to sell.

We have no house brand and no quota. Contracts stay in your name, and you pay the same price you would going direct.

Why we exist

We work for you

Too many businesses get sold long contracts, oversized circuits and support lines that lead nowhere. Buckeye is carrier-neutral and based in Sugar Grove, Ohio. We compare the market, say no to what you don’t need, and chase the carrier when something breaks, so you are not the one on hold.

It was 7 a.m. on a Sunday. Ransomware had locked every file at an online store that never closes, and their IT person was out of town. We had set up disaster recovery with the provider ahead of time and made sure it was tested. We got the provider on the line, and they brought the servers back from a separate data center the attack never touched, so the store didn't lose days to downtime.

How we work

We order it, schedule the install and handle the cutover.

Carriers build the network. Best-of-breed partners deliver managed IT, security, cloud, contact center and AI calling. We scope the work, pick the provider, run the cutover and hold them to the contract. After that, repairs, moves and billing problems come to us, not a carrier’s support line.

We compare carriers and platforms, including Spectrum Business, AT&T, Lumen, Verizon Business, Comcast Business, Frontier, Cox Business, Zayo, RingCentral, 8x8, Nextiva, Zoom Phone and Microsoft Teams Phone. We hold no quota with any of them.
