Your phones
If your business phones are on AT&T copper lines, this is a good time to move them to a cloud phone system. You keep your numbers, and calls ring on desk phones, computers and cell phones.
See phone systemsYour internet
If your internet is DSL from AT&T, it runs over the same copper. And once your phones and alarms run over the internet or cellular, an outage affects all of them. We compare the providers that serve your address, and can add cellular backup so things keep working when the line is down.
