Bicek Telecom negotiated a new contract with their current vendor, Nextiva, for a benefit administration company that saved them 40% off their prior contract. The new three year contract will save them over $60,000 over the life of the contract.

Why not see what Bicek Telecom can negotiate for your next telecom contract?

We just helped a Chicago based business renew their AT&T local contracts for their business phone lines  that includes POTS and Centrex lines.

The customer signed two contracts to lock in rates now due to constant price increases by AT&T.

If you have AT&T for your business (wired, wireless, internet), please give us a call to discuss how we can  save you time and aggravation in dealing with the local carrier.  It's worth a call to explore.

Here's a case for entering into new alternative gas and electric supply contracts.

The Nicor gas supply rate is 42 cents/therm as of September 1. Nicor changes their rate at the start of the month. The current competitive rates I am seeing are around 44-46 cents/therm.

Gas supply rates are expected to increase in the wholesale market during 2024. This includes utilities and supplier rates, so locking in for a 2-year term or longer is the best option right now.

The graph below are wholesale power prices from Oct. '21 to August '24.
The black dot is the current pricing.

Look at the forecasted jump coming in the next few months. That's roughly a 8-12 cent increase being forecasted for winter.

You can see the same pattern happening each winter - major price spikes in this market.
Between this date range, today's pricing is lower than 90% of the days. 

Electric rates follow gas so increases in gas eventually flow to increases in electric supply rates.
Current Comed rate is 6.809 cents/kWh through 9-30-23.

Bicek Telecom just saved a manufacturing business nearly 30% off their local phone lines by using an alternative supplier to their current provider.

We take current business POTS lines (typically AT&T) to an alternative carrier that does the billing and customer service. The order is processed as a back-office billing change with no upfront fees, no downtime, and no tech visits.  

The rates quoted already include the Federal Access/Subscriber Fee, EUCL, PICC, LNP, and Facilities fee.  
​Due to all of the surcharges we already bundle into the quoted rate, the average amount added as the All-In price with all tax/fees is only about 20%.

So you get a fully loaded line rate with usage and features for roughly a 30% savings off traditional AT&T business phone rates under their best contracts.

Call me to discuss how we can save you money on your business phone lines.
