Significantly, Gradwell is the first Tiscali channel partner to sign a WLVA (Wholesale Line Voice and ADSL) contract. The partnership will enable small to medium sized UK companies to benefit by merging their analogue telephone line, high quality broadband and a fully featured IP-PBX service into a single product from a single supplier.

In the WLVA product, Tiscali provides Gradwell with the whole copper pair at the local exchange and converts both voice and data into IP, routed straight into the Gradwell VoIP network. Therefore, there is no traditional phone line rental, resulting in a cost saving of over £11 per month.

Peter Gradwell, CEO of Gradwell Dot Com, says: "The key problem SMEs have with VoIP is making sure the service is consistent. By using Tiscali’s Voice Ready Broadband, connected directly to the Gradwell VoIP network, we can provide SMEs with a high quality, consistent and reliable end to end solution."
