Leased Lines

Bit of a Friday afternoon rant/grumble here...

Customers ask for leased line quotes every so often... before going through the process of creating a full quote you tell them it will be ballpark £10-£15K per year depending on bandwidth and distance from the exchange... customer says fine do me a full quote... you do full quote and it comes out about £12K a year so you put in into a nice glossy format with bells and whistles and customer says... sorry too expensive!!!

I don't understand why the ballpark is OK but the final quote isn't !! Most annoying haven't spent all that time producing it.

Oh and before anyone shoots me down over price they were about 9Km from the exchange

Rant over and relax... nearly weekend

I feel your pain and I must admit I dont miss that side of IT.

I do miss the geeky shiney new hardware and operating systems side but defo not the BS that comes with it.
