In Their Own Words:

"ShopforEthernet.com was recommended to me by the value added reseller who services my phone system when he overheard me complaining about the slowness of our web server which is hosted here in my office in Rochester. My server was fine, but our bonded T1 line that connects it to the Internet was saturating everyday during peak business hours. I didn't want to spend any more money that I am now on bandwidth, and was very happy to see that an Ethernet over copper connection from XO communications was able to allow me the ability to upgrade to 10MB without spending a penny more than I am now. Not only is the service cost effective, my connection is better quality."

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.


How does this tool work?
  1. You enter your building address in the form above.
  2. A map with markers will be displayed. That tells you that how many buildings have been "lit" by the major telecom service providers in your area.
  3. If you would like to learn more, you'll be able to enter you contact information to receive a phone call from our staff of Ethernet service experts.

How is this tool valuable?

The GeoQuote Ethernet locator is valuable for people or business who are looking to:
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • move into a building with existing carrier facilities.

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.
