Hosted means just that, your phone system hosted elsewhere. In this case, on BT Wholesale’s Nationwide Network.
VoIP is Voice over IP – that’s literately “digital phone lines” which are delivered to your desk (or your computer) via the internet; all you need is a good Internet Connection and you’re on your way. For VoIP use, you need a minimum of 100Kbps of bandwidth per user – so if you’re on a 20Mbps fibre line, you can support many users, but if you need help with your Internet Connectivity as well, have a look at our Internet Access Services.
We’re mind-blowingly proud of our Hosted VoIP, because it really does offer everything, from a single SME who needs an extra phone number for their home office, through to a 2000 user call centre across 10+ sites. Not bad, eh?
