In Their Own Words:

"Until one week ago I didn't even know what a metro Ethernet connection was. A telecommunications publication mentioned how it was going to drastically reduce the price per meg to businesses who qualified for service (IE: who were lucky enough to reside in a "Lit Building"). Not knowing if my building here in Kirkland had Ethernet available in it, I found ShopforEthernet.com through Google. After a few minutes I was pleasantly surprised to learn that it was available, and the knowledgeable consultant who contacted me was able to help me place my order which should be installed next week. Thanks for all your help."

How is this tool valuable?

The GeoQuote Ethernet locator is valuable for people or business who are looking to:
  • 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.
  • move into a building with existing carrier facilities.
  • gather information that will be helpful in the planning stages of broadband deployment for a new real-estate development.
  • substantially upgrade their current broadband connections.

  3. If you enter your contact information, our staff of Ethernet service experts will contact you about the service you are interested in.
