iTeraTEL Strengthens Business Connectivity Across Brampton and Mississauga as Canadian Businesses Demand More Reliable Digital Infrastructure
September 18, 2026
BRAMPTON & MISSISSAUGA, ON — September 2026 — A stronger emphasis on reliable business connectivity, communications and technology infrastructure is being placed across Brampton and Mississauga as organizations increasingly depend on uninterrupted internet access, cloud applications, digital communications and connected business systems.
The Old Copper Phone Line Is Disappearing. What Should Businesses Check Before It Does?
October 7, 2025
Old analog telephone lines have a habit of staying in buildings long after everyone has forgotten why they were installed.
That becomes a problem as carriers continue moving away from legacy copper infrastructure. Disconnecting an old line is easy. Finding out afterwards that it was attached to something important is not.
Before migrating services, inventory them.
Why Can Two “1 Gig” Internet Quotes Be So Different?
June 24, 2025
We occasionally get asked why one provider is offering “1 Gig internet” for a fraction of the price of a 1 Gbps dedicated circuit.
It is a fair question. Both quotes say 1 Gbps. Why aren’t they the same price?
Usually because they are not the same service.
Does Your Business Still Need Desk Phones? Maybe.
February 11, 2025
We used to spend a lot of time talking to customers about whether they should move their phone system to the cloud. Now a different question comes up: do we still need phones on everyone’s desk?
Probably not.
But that is different from saying nobody needs one.
Fixed Wireless Internet: Where It Fits For Business?
November 19, 2024
Fixed wireless is one of those terms that can mean different things to different people. The first thing worth clearing up is that we are not talking about the Wi-Fi inside the office.
A fixed wireless internet service uses a radio link between the customer location and the provider’s network. In the right location, it can be a practical way to get business connectivity without relying on the same cable or fibre route already serving the building.
iTeraTEL Launches Fixed Wireless Internet Service
July 24, 2024
iTeraTEL has launched a new Fixed Wireless Internet service in select areas of the Greater Toronto Area.
The service is aimed at business locations where internet choices are limited or where the available wired services do not provide the speeds a business needs.
What the Rogers Outage Taught Canadian Businesses About Internet Redundancy
July 15, 2024
Most businesses don’t spend much time thinking about their internet connection when it is working.
When it isn’t, everyone notices.
The Rogers outage in July 2022 was an unusually large example, but it made a fairly basic point for Canadian businesses: a lot more than web browsing now depends on connectivity. Phones, Teams, payment processing, cloud applications, remote access and customer service can all be affected at the same time.
With the outage back in the news this summer as the CRTC released its independent review, it is a good time to look at a question we still get from customers: what actually counts as a backup internet connection?

What Does an Internet SLA Actually Guarantee?
March 17, 2026
Customers sometimes ask whether a business internet service has an SLA as though that tells them everything they need to know about reliability.
It does not.
A service level agreement defines particular commitments from the provider. It does not mean the circuit can never fail.
