In Their Own Words:

"To be honest, I had no idea that metro Ethernet was available in my building here in Ann Arbor. When I went looking for a bonded T1 I discovered that I could get 10MB of broadband through a network Ethernet connection to XO Communications for less than I planned to pay for a 6MB bonded T1 line. ShopforEthernet.com really makes it easy for businesses to get more for less."

Can I order Ethernet service online?

Yes. We do not require that you pay a fee to access this information - however, we do require that you purchase service through us if you decide to buy. We are compensated from the participating carriers when you order through us, which pays for the development and maintenance of this web site.

How is this tool valuable?

The GeoQuote Ethernet locator is valuable for people or business who are looking to:
  • substantially upgrade their current broadband connections.
  • establish a direct relationship with a provider without the local Bell in the equation.
  • gather information that will be helpful in the planning stages of broadband deployment for a new real-estate development.
  • find a carrier who provides QoS (Quality of Service) guarantees. Since the carrier you select is in complete control of your connection, it is much easier for them to provide QoS.
  • move into a building with existing carrier facilities.
