Preseem WISP Review by E-vergent Wireless
At Preseem, we help Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) provide a better quality of experience (QoE) to their subscribers. For WISPs, having happier customers leads to reduced churn, lower support costs, and an increase in revenue.
Joe Falaschi, GM of E-vergent Wireless, a WISP in Wisconsin, recently shared the impact Preseem has had on his network and business.
WISP Review – Using Preseem for Daily Support and Improving the Network
In the video below, Joe starts by introducing E-vergent and the company’s journey from dial-up to wireless. He also shares information on the wireless gear and billing platform that E-vergent uses.
Joe also mentions how E-vergent evaluated DPI-based solutions before opting for Preseem. Key factors in their decision included affordability and Preseem’s easy, hands-off approach to traffic shaping. He also credits Preseem’s onboarding and support team for a smooth integration with his network and billing system.
One of the core ways that E-vergent uses Preseem is to assist their support team. Having traffic graphs, real-time and historical data, and QoE metrics at the support team’s fingertips has been a plus. Also, there’s no need for guesswork when it comes to troubleshooting AP issues. Preseem helps E-vergent pinpoint the source of QoE problems proactively instead of after the fact.
Also, proactively monitoring and optimizing QoE with Preseem allows E-vergent to save on unnecessary customer service calls and truck rolls. As customers have become happier with E-vergent’s service, positive online reviews have increased, leading to more business.
Using Preseem for Plan Speed Enforcement and Optimization
In the video, Joe also shares information on how E-vergent previously implemented subscriber plan speeds using rate limits in radios before deploying Preseem. He also comments on how adding more bandwidth to solve QoE issues isn’t a sustainable method, noting how Preseem takes care of QoE issues even on maxed-out connections.
To sum up, Joe shares the real impact that deploying Preseem has had on lowering his company’s subscriber churn while adding $27,000 in retained revenue in just six months. With some help from our CEO Gerrit to explain E-vergent’s customer churn data, Joe concludes that the positive impact Preseem has had on their network can be valued at over $100,000 over a year and 126 saved customers.
