Dear Subscriber,

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays! We are very grateful and consider ourselves blessed to have the opportunity to serve you.

What if there was a Telephone and Internet Solutions provider in the marketplace that focused on being your LAST vendor ever? What does it take to be The LAST? Our plans for each day are centered around this idea. This vision was created by you, our client, as we have listened to your desires for our industry. Being The LAST - means putting your desires ahead of our own. Being The LAST - means Sustainability. Our sustainable business plan has included developing our own phone company over the last three years. We built our own infrastructure in Augusta. Taking ownership of a local infrastructure provides a sustainable foundation that is not dependant on reseller agreements to out of town companies. Being the LAST - means working well with all carriers to meet your needs. The larger out of town providers are very protective of their market, and always put the burden on the client to bridge the gap between several vendors. Your needs come first at Georgia Business Net, and we promise to develop solutions with the carriers and vendors of your choice. A gap will not exist between vendors because we develop a complete solution. With Georgia Business Net, we give you the options and the flexibility to create a solid and reliable solution that will LAST!

I welcome your comments or questions. Write to me: Clay Colvin - President - colvin@gabn.net. We want to be your LAST Telephone & Internet Solutions Provider.

Help! IPv6?

We all have to prepare for IPv6. I am going to try to make this article for the masses, but the fact is, we are discussing IP Addresses. This subject inherently is technical. Devices that are speaking IPv6 are still rare, therefore our talk today is not urgent. Nevertheless, I have had four IPv6 conversations in the last two weeks. (That's probably four more than last year) With this little bit of buzz, and in an effort to help you prepare, let's discuss a good plan going forward. For the non-technical reader, IPv6 is the next generation Internet Protocol address. Currently while browsing, we find each other on the Internet with Internet Protocol version 4 addresses. Version 4 IP Addresses are represented by 32 bits, while version 6 has 128 bits. The Internet will run out of IP Addresses for each of our devices one day, and therefore we need more address space. This conversion to 128 bit addresses is the solution. All equipment that requires Internet Access needs to speak in this new format. Here's the message we are sending our clients today:  Read the Full Article Here:  http://bit.ly/ipv6gabn2

What You Need to Know: VoIP Lesson 1

VoIP's quality can be great! With proper planning, a needs assessment, and a network designed specifically for your business, VoIP's quality will always be superb. Without proper planning, your voice service quality could be diminished and tarnish your business's image. If your business is considering changing its telephone service, it is critical for the decision makers to understand the different classifications of VoIP.  Classification #1:  Voice over the Internet is often the cheapest product available, and it is advertised the most. Why? This type of service lacks the infrastructure to provide proper security or the quality of service business class customers have come to expect.  Classification #2: Business Class VoIP - Depending on how the service is designed, I've also heard this called Private Line VoIP. A low price is not paramount when a vendor designs this service. However, that does not mean this will be the highest priced product either. Read the Full Article - bit.ly/2YoWN
