Abstract
ATLANTIC-ACM' s fourth annual Business Connectivity Report Card study is an
industry-wide, survey-based study that enables small- and medium-sized
business and enterprise customers to provide feedback on multiple carriers,
including wireless carriers (new this year), in a variety of service and
product categories, and to evaluate carrier operations. The report card
features business/enterprise customer ratings of carrier performance over
multiple service and operational categories from the past 12 months of
service. The resulting data provides carriers with an overview of strengths
and weaknesses from the customers' point of view, and allows them to directly
compare their own performance to that of competitors. In addition, the
analysis enables business class customers to make informed choices when
selecting carriers.
