You're already on Lumen IoD.
You're almost certainly overpaying.

Lumen IoD bills hourly by bandwidth tier. Almost nobody schedules it. The result: every site, every night, every weekend, running at peak rates while no one's working. In this 30-minute recorded demo, see how Flux schedules every connection automatically — and watch us project annual savings on real numbers, right on screen.

Why this is on your calendar

You bought NaaS for the flexibility. Almost nobody uses it that way.

Hourly billing, dynamic tiers, scale up for one bad day. The pitch was: pay for what you use.

In practice, connections get provisioned at peak tier on day one and the schedule never changes. So you're paying for 1 Gbps at 2 AM on a Saturday at the same rate you pay for it at 10 AM on a Tuesday, when no one is on the network.

Flux is the management layer Lumen never built. It plugs into the official Lumen API, discovers every IoD connection on your account, and runs the bandwidth schedule the rest of the way. No carrier change. No new contracts. Same Lumen, lower bill.

For MSPs: same play, multiplied. One Flux dashboard runs your entire book of IoD business with full data isolation per tenant, and turns optimization into a managed-service line item with margin.

What you'll walk away with

Four things worth your 30 minutes.

i.

A read on your own overspend.

Plug your circuit count and bandwidth tier into the calculator and project annual savings in minutes — the demo shows you exactly how.

ii.

The exact dashboard view that runs IoD on autopilot.

Recorded demo: connect a Lumen account, discover circuits, build a schedule, watch tiers change in real time.

iii.

The three patterns that quietly inflate every IoD invoice.

After-hours full-speed, weekend full-speed, and the "we sized it for one bad day" trap. Most teams find at least one in the first 60 seconds.

iv.

The MSP multi-tenant playbook.

If you manage IoD for clients, see how to package optimization as a margin-rich service line. Same product, different revenue model.

Founder

Stephen has spent his career as an IT and business leader watching enterprise telecom contracts quietly bleed money, and built Socium to fix it. Flux is the product side of that work: the IoD management layer Lumen Control Center never shipped. He runs the demo, the calculator, and the Q&A in this recording.
