In Their Own Words:
"To be honest, I had no idea that metro Ethernet was
available in my building here in Birmingham. When I went looking
for a bonded T1 I discovered that I could get 10MB of
broadband through a network Ethernet connection to

for a 6MB bonded T1 line. ShopforEthernet.com really
makes it easy for businesses to get more for less."
