Great. Does that mean I get to pay more for a computer that will be on
for more than 8 hours a day? (the average work day of corporate America)
If BCTel puts 200 lines on a switch, but can only service 200 fully for
a few minutes, perhaps they should look into purchasing better equipment! I
buy my equipment to run 24 hours a day at full capacity. If it can't do it,
then it's defective!
