Dear Ford, Lincoln or Mercury Dealer,
As you are currently evaluating different Internet Service
Providers (ISP) for your dealership in an attempt to select
the best fit, FORDSTAR NG Project Choice would like to provide
some general guidelines that may be useful for you in your decision
process. These guidelines can be found in more detail in the Olympus
or Computer Network Guidelines.
We recommend that you make your selection from a list of Tier 1 and 2
providers who will generally provide a higher percentage of network
availability. The most common reason for choosing a Tier 3 or other
provider is lower cost. You should be aware that there are potential
risks for making cost the sole basis for your decision. For example,
these providers may have the following weaknesses:
· Greater potential that they may not be in business in the future
· Lack of written service level agreements
· Lack of Internet connection redundancy
· Limited information and experience available on these suppliers
If you feel that one of these suppliers has the best solution, here are
some questions you might want to consider asking:
· What are the minimum guaranteed minimum up and down speeds?
· What service level agreements (SLA) are offered?
· Will my bill be adjusted for all outages?
· Do you offer static IP addresses? (Required by some applications)
· What are your support hours?
· What is the guaranteed response time to outages?
· What is the contract length?
· What are the one time charges?
· Is this a business grade service? (For example, ADSL is considered
a residential grade service)
If you have any questions, one option that is available to you is
to call SPX, a supplier teamed up with FORDSTAR to supply you options,
at 866-765-5582. They will provide information and options from a variety
of Tier 1 and Tier 2 High Speed Internet Service Providers available for your
particular location.
