FAQs
What is the “Cloud”?
The “Cloud” is a figurative term that is used to describe a hosted or off-site data center servers. Typically, service providers have multiple centers which work together to provide a seamless backup plan of multi-level redundancy and fail-over. Cloud services are quicker, more stable, and easily accessible by anyone, wherever they may be, with nearly any internet connected device.
How reliable is VoIP?
VoIP is extremely reliable especially compared to outdated routers and switches which couldn't withstand the strenuous requirements that accompany this type of technology. Now, most off-the-shelf equipment will support VoIP, including additional features such as QoS (Quality of Service). VoIP is now an unbeatable solution for companies around the World.
Who is Lightspeed and what is Lightspeed Connect?
Lightspeed is the premier carrier of cloud-based IP telephone systems. We are the only true business-grade solution and have dedicated our company to providing superior technology solutions, including our flagship product, Lightspeed Connect.
Lightspeed Connect is an enterprise-grade telephone system, and is the culmination of many years of development and design. It allows businesses to cut costs, increase productivity, and ultimately make more money. With Lightspeed Connect, over 40 enhanced features are included in a low monthly subscription rate for no additional charge.
In addition, Lightspeed Connect allows for easy and seamless integration of multiple offices, thus creating the ability to transfer calls, intercom, park, and pick up calls from any location – anywhere, any time.
What can I expect for voice quality?
VoIP is the preferred communications choice for traditional carriers for their long distance call transport. Chances are very high that you use VoIP every day and may not even realize it!
Some cloud-based service providers compress their clients’ voice traffic, using VoIP codecs such asg.729. They do this because it saves the provider money on their intrinsic costs. The end result of compression is a “tinny” or “hollow” sound. Not Lightspeed! We are dedicated to providing outstanding service, and will not sacrifice quality and satisfaction of our clients over our bottom line.
We do not compress our traffic – this is why our clients rave about our high-quality crystal clear sound!
What exactly is Voice over IP, or VoIP?
Voice over IP, or VoIP is a telecommunications solution that utilizes your high-speed cable, fiber, or DSL internet connection to send and receive vocal communications, rather than traditional copper based telephone lines. VoIP has presented a multitude of benefits: the ability to make or receive multiple calls with a single number; allowing companies to maintain local numbers in various markets without RCF (remote call forwarding); and enabling a single system to serve multiple locations, as if they were all in the same building.
How does Lightspeed ensure uptime?
Lightspeed manages and maintains all equipment essential to the proper functionality of your Lightspeed Connect system. We are constantly monitoring your internet connection and have the ability to instantaneously “fail-over” to a variety of pre-programmed alternative phones, e.g., company cellphones. The process is automatic and seamless, and is completely transparent to the caller.
All Lightspeed Connect calls are delivered to one of our geographically dispersed redundant carrier grade data centers and terminated directly to the PSTN, thus ensuring maximum reliability and uptime.
Our data centers are protected by a number of redundant features:
• Quadruple redundant internet providers
• Power supported by diesel generators, in tier 1 refueling locations.
• HVAC
• High security access

What do I do if lightspeed Automate is crashing or fails to load?
Lightspeed Automate will only work within Google Chrome. This will occur if the wrong browser is being used such as Internet Explorer.
Why is Lightspeed Automate not uploading my lead lists?

How will a cloud-based telephone system benefit my business?
There are many benefits to a cloud-based telephone system. Depending on your personal value perspective, some of the benefits may seem better than others. The most apparent benefits are:
• Typical monthly cost savings of 30% to 50% compared with traditional wire line carriers
• Typical initial savings of 90% compared to traditional telephone systems
• No equipment to maintain
• No single point of failure
• Elimination or great reduction of downtime during utility outages
• Ability to combine multiple locations into a single system
• Enabling remote or traveling workers
Can I keep my current telephone number(s)?
Absolutely. Your number belongs to you and cannot be withheld by any carrier for any reason. We can port your number to any rate center in the United States, and you may use that number as you determine appropriate.
Does Lightspeed offer any sort of trial or demo system?
Absolutely. Lightspeed offers a 30 day guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied with your Lightspeed Connect system, just let us know and we will release you from any further financial obligation and help you switch to the provider of your choice.
What type of support does Lightspeed provide after installation?
We provide a variety of post-installation support. Clients are welcome to contact our support personnel via email, chat, or phone. We also provide a handy “how to” guide in which most questions are addressed.
How much money can I expect to save using Lightspeed?
Typical savings is between 30% and 50% – sometimes more or less. Chances are, if you currently use a traditional carrier, AT&T, Verizon, Quest, etc., you will save a substantial amount of money on your monthly communications bill.
Why doesn’t Lightspeed offer free phones like some of their competitors?
You remember the phrase “you get what you pay for”? At Lightspeed, our biggest concern is ensuring your top satisfaction. Why should we woo you in with substandard free equipment, when you’re going to end up dissatisfied? We only provide the highest rated equipment. We do not profit on the sale of our phones and pass our savings directly to the client. Thus, we ensure the absolute best value for our service – price and functionality.
How many phone lines are included with your system?
Unlimited. Lightspeed Connect allows your business to make and receive as many calls as necessary at any given time. We do not have any “bursting” charges or other types of nickel and diming pricing structures.
Do you provide training?
Of course! Our team will coordinate with you and provide a number of training sessions including:
daily system practices and commonly used features, administration of the system including changes and maintenance, and management features, such as reporting, call recording, and coaching.
What features are included with Lightspeed Connect?
Lightspeed Connect includes over 40 enterprise-grade features, including:
Click-2-Call
Graphical Call
Reporting
Automatic Fail-over
Auto Attendant / Digital Receptionist
Advanced Call Recording & Monitoring
Graphical Switchboard
On-Hold Customizable Music or Messaging
Does your system support softphones or smartphones?
Yes, our Lightspeed Connect system supports many different types of softphones which we are also able to install on your iPhone or Android.
Does Lightspeed support multiple locations, remote working or traveling workers without additional configuration?
Yes, Lightspeed Connect natively supports multiple locations and traveling workers with no additional configuration needed.
Can I have numbers from other locations, cities, states, etc.?
Absolutely. You can have numbers from anywhere in the USA. If you want a New York number, but you are based in Florida, that is fine. If you want numbers from neighboring cities or counties to show a large local presence, that we can do as well.
Is my business too large/small for this type of service?
Businesses of all sizes are moving to cloud-based telephone systems. Our clientele includes everything from national brands with hundreds of extensions, to inbound call center environments, to mom & pop shops with one or two phones. Our products and services are optimum for all of these businesses because they have a common need for an advanced communications system. A system that has Automatic Call Distribution (ACD), intelligent auto attendant to enhance the client experience, the capacity to provide intuitive call reports, and the resources to support remote workers.
Can I keep my toll-free number or can Lightspeed provide toll-free service?
We are able to port toll-free numbers as well as provide new toll-free numbers. Many times, we are able to allocate “vanity” numbers. A vanity number is a designed number that represents a meaningful mnemonic message, such as our number: 877-97-VOICE.
If I have multiple locations do I still need only one phone number?
Sure, you can have numbers from anywhere or from any specific county in the United States. For example, if you want a New York number, but are based in Florida, we can accommodate that. If you want numbers from neighboring cities or counties to show a large local presence, that is available as well.
How long does it take to make the switch to Lightspeed?
Switching to Lightspeed takes about two to three weeks. The majority of this time is waiting for your number to be ported from the “losing carrier.” After confirmation of a due date, which we will confirm with you, we will then collaborate with your team to ensure a 100% successful deployment.
Is Lightspeed compatible with e911?
Yes. Lightspeed is fully compatible with e911, ensuring your safety in times of emergent need. Please see the Lightspeed Terms of Service for additional information, including the potential limitations of e911.
Does your system need a computer to function?
No, the phone does not need a computer to function. The phones work independently from all other internet enabled devices.
What equipment do I have to purchase?
Besides the one-time cost of the handsets, Lightspeed recommends your company purchase a QoS enabled router. These routers are easily available from nearly all electronics or office supply stores, and typically cost $50 to $100, depending on features, e.g. WiFi, etc.
Do I have to rewire my office for the Lightspeed Connect?
Your new system simply requires a single CAT5 jack. If you have an internet enabled computer where the phone will be installed, you do not need additional wiring. However, if you intend to place a phone in a location with no internet connection, you may need to install a wire.
What type of internet connection do I need for your service?
Typically, any high-speed broadband service will be sufficient for the Lightspeed service. Each call will take approximately 80kb of internet. You should calculate the number of simultaneous calls you expect to have and multiply that number by 80. For example, if you have 20 phones, you may expect to have a maximum of 10 simultaneous calls at any given time. So multiply 10 x 80kb, and you get 800kb, or 0.8Mb (Megabits). The typical cable or fiber optic broadband connection exceeds any speed requirements. A QoS enabled router will help ensure that your telephones are always receiving sufficient bandwidth.
Do I need to cancel my existing service before installing the Lightspeed Connect?
No. Lightspeed will handle the conversion to your new system. Please do not contact your current carrier prior to the port order taking effect (i.e. installation of Lightspeed Connect). Doing so may actually delay the port order, and require a longer amount of time until installation.
