In Their Own Words:

"As the head of IT, it is my job to make sure that our enterprise has enough bandwidth to function efficiently. When we outgrew our T1 line I knew that we were going to be looking at either a bonded T1 of fractional DS3. Thankfully I found this web site and learned that I could get an XO Ethernet over copper 10MB connection for under $1000. It wasn't too long ago that just 1.5BM cost about that same amount!"

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.
  • substantially upgrade their current broadband connections.
  • 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.
  • move into a building with existing carrier facilities.
