WAN Cost Benchmark vs. competitors
TeleGeography’s WAN Cost Benchmark is the reliable standard for network pricing.
Competitors evaluate network pricing with limited data, since they rely on extracting pricing from clients’ existing contracts. This can skew data points for network configurations that differ from the customer samples they have on hand.
TeleGeography uses a consistent, decades-long dataset that provides accurate comparisons across geographies and network types. We’ve been collecting data from around the world and across hundreds of metro areas, producing robust datasets relevant to your specific network setup. We don’t require your current contract—only input your network details and you can start modeling and comparing network scenarios.
Testimonials
Real users, real impacts
Laurence Andrews
– Global Engineer, Cushman & Wakefield at WAN Summit London
“As a real estate company, we’re very good at moving offices very quickly, which makes for issues for us as an IT department. Ensuring that the network functions reliably is a real challenge. [A WAN Cost Benchmark] gave us confidence in our financial business case. We spent a long time with TeleGeography to understand what kinds of products are available, what other kinds of WAN solutions are available for us to move forward with.”
Dimitrios Voutsinas
– Head of Network Design & Development, Thomson Reuters at WAN Summit London
“This is really where I think companies like TeleGeography can can help. We compared what we were paying per megabit for inter-data center connectivity, what we were paying for distribution, and what equivalent services were at the time of offering. We realized very quickly that we were pay paying up to 300 times per meg more for our inter-data center connectivity. We saved the company hundreds of millions of dollars.”
