😉 My only big complaint is about calling to make a payment. I call, and call, and call, and no one answers a damn phone! I can only try so many times. I'm not free to just call 24/7 until someone feels like answering. I love when they send me things in the mail about making a payment, yet when I call, they don't answer. Makes it kind of hard to make a payment!

😠 I experienced the same issues as the Oct 2009 review. Their helpdesk is staffed by several individuals that don't know their job and a couple that do. I have waited over a month for final resolution on some of my issues. Initial setup was a horror. Billing has been wrong from the beginning. I have been stuck with them for three years and they renewed my contract with no notice except terms in the initial contract so read your contract...

📜 About LightEdge

Headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa, LightEdge Solutions is a leading provider of fully-managed network and business services, voice services and web hosting solutions for small and medium sized businesses in the Midwest and Southwest regions.

Dedicated to technology leadership and best-in-class service and support, LightEdge Solutions offers fully-managed network and business application services through their Service-on-Demand offering, allowing businesses to focus on their core business, gain competitive advantage and scale for growth.

LightEdge Solutions also has regional offices in Cedar Rapids; Moline, Illinois; Kansas City; Minneapolis; Omaha; and Scottsdale.

Who we are
LightEdge Solutions is a hosted service provider focused on the needs of small and medium sized businesses. Our objective is to empower your company's IT department to run more efficiently and more purposefully by providing access to an enterprise-grade hosted environment that is monitored 24x7 and maintained by certified systems engineers. Through our dynamic and scalable network, we can provide the facilities, the network and expert staffing that can infuse strength and stability into your company's critical IT systems.

What we do
Based on a relatively new trend that is growing quickly in the small and medium-sized business markets, LightEdge provides an alternative for businesses that traditionally have purchased, maintained and then depreciated equipment related to IT functions. By leveraging the economies of scale inherent in the LightEdge network, your business is able to operate on redundant IT platforms designed on best practices used in Fortune 100 companies with little upfront capital and predictable monthly fees.

Why we're different
While there are many specialty providers that offer a small product niche, such as Microsoft Exchange, LightEdge is one of the very few that has the breadth of service to act as a truly single-source hosted services provider. We feel that your business communication and IT needs are better served by a vendor that is able to understand your business drivers and process from top to bottom and offer a fully integrated solution rather than assembling building blocks from multiple vendors.

Solutions

As your business continues to grow, you are constantly faced with decisions regarding your network and IT infrastructure. When to put new hardware into service? How well your system will scale for unplanned growth? How to retain competent network administrators?

LightEdge Solutions can refocus your business by providing a valuable alternative - upsourced voice, data and IT. LightEdge sits in a unique position in the industry with scale-on-demand capabilities in data networking, IT hosting/management and hosted Voice-over-IP (VoIP) telephony. With LightEdge as a business partner you are assured of a Fortune-500 level IT experience without the initial capital expense and ongoing staffing expenses of a traditional network.

Leading analyst firms including Gartner and the Wall Street Journal believe that upsourced IT, often called utility computing, is one of the Top 10 technology trends.

We think that it just makes sense.

Data Services

LightEdge’s network is built for business and offers speed, reliability and full management to meet your business requirements today and in the future. Our on-demand data services include Wide Area Networking, Meshed IP WAN, LAN Monitoring, Managed Security, Remote Access Services and Business Internet. Our scalable, cost-effective solutions are backed by local sales and customer service 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

😠 Customer service is horrible. Hold time when you do have a problem is horrible. Billing department has no clue about anything. Trying to cancel their service is ridiculous. They make you fill out all sorts of information just to cancel. They held our e-mail accounts in their system for 2 months after we quit meaning we could not receive any e-mail from clients who also use their service. I am so frustrated imagining that clients have been e-mailing us and we have no idea. Worse yet, is the possibility of lost business from not receiving e-mail from prospects. This company is now too large. I miss Netexpress when you could call locally and have a person handle your account. They seem to not care about their customers. I am so happy that I have quit and found a provider for a third of the cost.
