In Their Own Words:

"My boss just purchased a video conferencing platform as was pretty upset when it saturated our T1 line. Our options were either drop the video conference service or order another T1. Thankfully, I found ShopforEthernet.com using a Google search and learned that I could get a 10MB Ethernet over copper connection for the same price as a bonded T1. My boss is now very happy with the speed and clarity of our video conference service, now that we have enough throughput to support it!"

Can I order Ethernet service online?

Not yet. Even if our Metro Ethernet lookup tool shows you are in an On-Net building, we must still go through a manual check on both pricing and service availability. However, know that our Ethernet Experts are here to assist you with every step of the process.


Why is Metro Ethernet Important to Colfax North Carolina Businesses?

"Regular" connections include T1, DSL, Bonded DS1, T3, OCX and Frame Relay. Each service requires the Local Phone Company and your ISP to connect you and the Internet. That adds extra expense to the equation and increases the possiblity of multiple points of failure, as illustrated below:

Regular SONET

By using Ethernet technology, a Colfax North Carolina business is able to "plug" directyl in to its Internet service provider. It reduces costs and increases the amount of speed the ISP can provide. The connection will look like this:

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.
  • move into a building with existing carrier facilities.
  • establish a direct relationship with a provider without the local Bell in the equation.
  • 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.
  • gather information that will be helpful in the planning stages of broadband deployment for a new real-estate development.

Is this lookup tool free?

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.
