Business DSL — Accelstream & Madderra Group

"Speakeasy has always offered the greatest value in bandwidth for the money, and their VoIP service is way ahead of the phone company. I feel like I've picked a company that I don't have to worry about going about and shopping against all the time because they're very likely to be in the lead. I'd be quite happy to stick with Speakeasy for the next 30 years."

— Tod Madderra, CEO, Madderra Group & AccelStream

Company Background

The Madderra Group is a multimedia Internet communications company that develops and hosts web application services. Their flagship company AccelStream offers a video messaging service that allows subscribers to create and store video messages and facilitates streaming video distribution. At their Georgia headquarters, six full-time employees and multiple contractors manage twelve servers, ten PCs, and extensive VPN traffic from remote machines in data centers worldwide.

Overview

• Challenge
  Having grown from a basement operation to a company with global reach in just a few years, every penny and every minute counts for Accelstream/Madderra Group. Before Speakeasy, the company had an unreliable cable broadband connection and an expensive business phone line. Employees used prepaid phone cards to manage long-distance expenditures. When they tried other Hosted Voice (VoIP) services, they experienced poor sound quality and found it impossible to surf the web or download files while talking.
• Solution
  A Speakeasy OneLink DSL connection and two broadband phone (VoIP) lines provide reliable voice and data service, plus unlimited long distance calling at no additional charge. A OneLink "phone-free" DSL connection eliminates local phone company hassles, and the OneLink + Hosted Voice package means one predictable bill for all voice and data communications. Unlike most Hosted Voice (VoIP) providers, Speakeasy is able to guarantee voice quality by prioritizing voice calls over data on one nationwide private network.
• Results
  With two phone lines instead of one and unlimited long distance, the Madderra Group now enjoys vastly improved service at a savings of almost 20%. "You can't operate your business efficiently if you're worrying about rates and time periods," says Madderra. "You can't put a dollar amount on the freedom that comes with Speakeasy Hosted Voice." The Madderra Group can rely on their Speakeasy OneLink + Hosted Voice service to stay ahead of the industry curve!
