Most people can save money on their WAN
If your network is over two years old, you’re probably paying more than market price.
If it's over five year's old, you’re probably paying considerably more.
If you re-signed with typical price reductions and bandwidth increases, there is probably more discount available.
Let's start with some ways to save on your current WAN
Most businesses did not get the discount due to them when they upgraded WAN circuits to 21CN
Most networks over five years old, from BT or a carrier using their circuits, have had circuits upgraded to 21CN

Have you ever increased bandwidth to fix a performance issue?
7 times out of 10 you don't need bandwidth to fix an application performance problem.
Only 30% of performance issues are due to the network (the rest are caused by infrastructure or application issues).
Use an Application Performance audit to fix these problems and possibly reduce the bandwidth you pay for.

But if I buy a new WAN,
won't I have to buy new routers?
TEST YOUR INSTINCTS
You can often RETAIN old routers. But...
Do you think keeping old routers would be cheaper?
Yes, of course!

Actually, it's often cheaper to buy new
Why is that?
You can often get the same performance as an older router using a new one from a lower model range. This will have lower support costs, which can save you money despite the purchase cost.
Your instincts are correct!

But surely it takes a long time to install a new network?
