SCG Dundee — Business Telecoms & IT

It depends on the upload, not the download. Standard broadband is built to pull data down rather than push it up, which is the wrong way round for a studio uploading builds or a lab sending datasets. A leased line gives you the same speed in both directions with a guaranteed fix time. We size it against what you actually move in a week rather than selling you the biggest circuit available.

That is the point of the group behind us. Buying sits with the Southern Communications Group, so a ten-person studio in Dundee is priced inside a national account rather than as a ten-person studio. The systems are the same ones larger organisations run — the difference is that you get a named local contact instead of an account manager assigned by revenue band.

Yes. Steven Funai looks after Dundee & Tayside, working with businesses across Dundee, Broughty Ferry, Monifieth, Angus and Tayside. SCG Solutions operates UK-wide, so sites you run outside Dundee City are covered too — your local director stays the point of contact for all of them.

Steven Funai — partner at SCG Solutions. You get a named person on 01382 024121 rather than a ticket queue, and the same person stays with the account after it is installed rather than handing you to a support desk that has never seen your setup.

Cloud telephony and Microsoft Teams calling, business internet from broadband to leased lines, business mobiles across every major UK network, and network security — with IT support, cloud hosting and business continuity behind them. Around Dundee that most often means schools & education, manufacturing and leisure parks. Buying sits with the Southern Communications Group, so a business here prices like a national account while dealing with someone local.

They stop working. The UK's PSTN and ISDN network closes in January 2027, so any line still running on it has to move to IP before then. Your existing Dundee numbers port across, so customers carry on dialling what is already on your signage and stationery. Sites around Dundee Waterfront and Michelin Scotland Innovation Parc compete for the same engineers as everywhere else, and slots get scarce closer to the deadline, so early is cheaper than late.
