Service Level Agreement

The timeframes in which Intouch Communications will respond to and address issues throughout our product portfolio are specified in this Service Level Agreement (SLA). 

Intouch Communications makes every effort to ensure that our clients are satisfied with the level of service they receive, as well as the products and services we provide. Intouch Communications provides corporate customers in the United Kingdom with communications services. While we may not provide all the components of our services ourselves, we are responsible for the services we provide to you and will work with our suppliers to ensure that any issues with their services are remedied quickly.

Service Levels 

Intouch Communications recognizes that all clients, regardless of size or location, are valuable and should be handled similarly. Incidents that disrupt the core service and prevent a customer from working, on the other hand, are given a higher priority than ordinary configuration updates to provide the first-class service we strive for. As a result, distinct requests are allocated the following priorities. 

Internally, a traffic light system monitors the state of problems and their associated service levels to guarantee that SLAs are constantly met. 

To be clear, all the times given below are from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays. 

 

Level 1 (Service Down) – Faults that result in a complete failure or render the service unusable. 

• 30 minutes for a first response 

•  Updates are made every two hours. 

•  Time to complete the fix: 8 hours 

  

Level 2 (High) – Faults that limit the service’s operation or performance. 

• 30 minutes for a first response 

• Updates are made every two hours. 

• Time to complete the fix: 2 days 

  

Level 3 (Medium) – Faults that affect the service of a single device or component rather than the entire service. 

• 30 minutes for a first response  

• Updates are made every four hours. 

• Time to complete the fix: 3 days 

  

Level 4 (Low) – Requests for configuration changes 

• 30 minutes for a first response 

• Updates are made every 5 days. 

• Time to complete the fix: 5 days 

 

Escalation 

If you are dissatisfied with the progress of a fault resolution, you can request that the person with whom you are dealing escalate the issue to their management, and then to the Intouch Communications Board. The escalation procedure is intended to assist consumers, and it should be treated as such. 

Complaints 

Please see our Complaints Procedure for more information. 

Hours Support 

Faults can be reported at any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, using the usual Intouch Communications contact information. Out-of-hours, faults on the fixed network and broadband services will be reported to the appropriate provider. However, some carriers only respond during business hours. If there is an available support resource for other issues and configuration changes, the request will be processed immediately; otherwise, it will be addressed within business hours.
