The award winning design firm Cool Blue Interactive supports every phase of its customers' online strategies, from designing and building a web presence to crafting a marketing strategy. But a sluggish ASDL line held the firm back with upload speeds that couldn't meet their customer's needs. Cool Blue Interactive turned to Cbeyond for a more sophisticated solution:
- Upgrade from ASDL service to a business-class T1 connection. A T1 line delivers much faster upload speeds, as well as speedier downloads.
- Acquire a static IP address for easier access to client networks. Cool Blue regularly logs into its client's networks to access and update their websites. In the past, Cool Blue was forced to establish a virtual private network (VPN) for every new customer.
- Reduce costs on telephone service without sacrificing reliability. A bundled service reduces costs on all communication services, while giving Cool Blue a single point of contact for maintenance and support.
"Cbeyond is low-cost and highly reliable - as reliable as the big guys."

The Cbeyond Solution
Cbeyond upgraded Cool Blue Interactive to a comprehensive package of voice and data, delivering greater value at a savings of $100-200 per month.
- BeyondVoice I, a combined voice and data package with unlimited local phone service, offers a symmetrical 1.5 Mbps T1 Internet connection and a scalable calling plan for mobile, domestic long distance and inbound toll-free calling.
- CbeyondOnline, Cbeyond's customer control panel, offers easy management of account settings and payment options.
Results and Benefits
Thanks to the addition of a T1 line, Cool Blue Interactive can manage and collaborate with its clients more quickly and efficiently than ever before.
- High-speed Internet connection lets Cool Blue transfer large files without delays.
- A single vendor for voice and data services streamlines bill payment and reduces administrative costs.
- Cbeyond's service includes hunt groups at no extra charge. Says Bo Simmons, "It is nice to have a telephone company that does not require you to pay for them."
