This emergency internet Liverpool case study highlights what happens when “price-cutting” providers fail and how Baltic Broadband’s rapid response saves businesses from total paralysis.

The Dixie Dean Hotel is a landmark in the heart of Liverpool. Recently, the hotel attempted to switch to a new provider. However, with a focus on low costs and little experience in the complex needs of the hospitality sector, that provider failed catastrophically.

The Challenge: Needing Emergency Internet in Liverpool

In the middle of a high-occupancy weekend, the hotel’s internet connection went dark. For a modern hotel, this wasn’t just an inconvenience—it was a disaster. The “ball-drop” by their new provider left the Dixie Dean with:

  • Total Booking Failure: No ability to check guests in or out.

  • Payment Paralysis: Card machines and payment systems were offline.

  • Operational Chaos: Stock booking systems were unavailable.

  • Guest Dissatisfaction: All guest Wi-Fi and smart TVs were completely out of service.

With guests arriving and the previous provider unable to restore service, the hotel was effectively paralyzed.

The Baltic “Secret Sauce”: Rapid Deployment in 4 Hours

When the call came in, Baltic Broadband dropped everything. Our on-call emergency engineers were dispatched immediately.

Utilising our specialised Emergency Internet Service, we bypassed the days of “line testing” and red tape that national providers require. We deployed a 10Gbps Fixed Wireless Leased Line to the roof of the hotel.

The result? The Dixie Dean Hotel was back online with a 10Gbps high-powered connection within just 4 hours of their initial call.

The Long-Term Result: Resilience and Professionalism

Because of our fast response and the sheer power of the network, the Dixie Dean made Baltic Broadband their permanent provider. Once the immediate crisis was over, we returned to install a “Bulletproof” configuration, adding multiple failover connections to ensure they never face a “dark weekend” again.
