Summary

Single-threaded toll-free service, which relies on a single carrier network, can pose significant risks to businesses that rely on toll-free numbers for customer support or sales. In the event of a network outage or localized disaster affecting the carrier, calls cannot be completed, leading to potential losses in revenue. Bandwidth offers an alternative solution with 5x carrier redundancy, direct peering relationships to four other carriers, and a 99.999% uptime commitment. This ensures more network uptime, reliable service, and less lost revenue due to dropped calls and outages.
