I’m paying way too much for internet & phone
Most Ohio businesses overpay 18–40% because they don’t have leverage with carriers. We do.
See how we fix this →My contract is up and the carrier is dodging me
You’re being renewed at a higher rate while a rep stalls you. We negotiate before the auto-renewal hits.
See how we fix this →My phone system is 10+ years old and dying
Hosted VoIP is half the price, works on cell phones, and survives outages. Migration without disruption.
See how we fix this →I’m opening a new location (or moving)
One phone call to us, one signature, every carrier and vendor coordinated. We project-manage the whole thing.
See how we fix this →I think we have a cybersecurity problem
Free vulnerability scan + cyber-insurance posture review. We tell you what’s broken before the insurer does.
See how we fix this →I have 8 IT vendors and nobody owns problems
One throat to choke. We consolidate vendors, manage the whole stack, and you get one phone number to call.
See how we fix this →Advisor First. MSP Second.
Most managed services providers push their own stack. We work with every major carrier, vendor, and platform — and recommend what fits your business, not what pays us the highest commission. Vendor-neutral by design. 23 years of knowing what actually works.
Who we work best with: Ohio companies with 50–500 employees, 2+ locations, and $10M–$250M in revenue. Typical engagements: $2,500–$25,000/month. If you’re smaller or one-off, we’ll happily refer you to a partner who’s a better fit.
100+ Carriers, Vendors, and Platforms — Under One Relationship.
We hold active partnerships with every major US business carrier and leading IT vendors. Same prices as direct — without giving up your advocate.

What We Won’t Do
Telling you upfront is faster than wasting your time later.
Convergence vs. Separate Vendors — What it Costs You
Stop juggling vendors. Here’s what most mid-market Ohio companies pay for fragmentation — and what they save when one team owns the stack.
| Factor | Buckeye Convergence | Separate MSP + Carrier + Security Vendor |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly invoices | 1 | 3–6 |
| Accountability during an outage | One team. One number to call. | Each vendor blames another. |
| Contract alignment | Co-terminus. We renew everything together. | Renewals scattered across the calendar. |
| Strategic ownership | vCIO sees the whole picture. | No one owns the totality. |
| Tooling overlap | Unified stack. No double-pay. | Duplicate licenses across vendors. |
| Carrier negotiation leverage | 23 years of carrier relationships working for you. | You negotiate alone. |
| Total monthly cost (typical 50-user mid-market) | $6,000–$9,500 | $8,000–$13,000 |

Jonathan Eubanks · Founder, 2003
Jonathan founded Buckeye Telecom in 2003 after years in the Columbus telecom industry — first at 5-Star distributors learning the product and carrier side, then carrying his own quota in telecom sales. He saw how big carriers treated mid-market customers from the inside, and started Buckeye to do it differently. After 23 years, I still personally answer my own phone. Carrier-neutral by design. No layers, no scripts. See exactly how we’re compensated →
