In Their Own Words:

"My business is very unique, but very bandwidth intensive. Ordering another T1 just wasn't in the budget and my customers were starting to leave because our bandwidth wasn't allowing our product to run at the speed we promised. With the help of ShopforEthernet.com I was able to learn about the benefits of Ethernet and how I could get a 10MB connection for just $1000 (the combined cost of my two current T1 lines). Since my current contract was about to expire I was able to upgrade to 10MB and I pay the exact same as I used to. My controller is happy and so are my customers. Thank you for providing this valuable service!"

Why is Metro Ethernet Important to Royal Oak Michigan 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 Royal Oak Michigan 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.
  • gather information that will be helpful in the planning stages of broadband deployment for a new real-estate development.
  • 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.
  • establish a direct relationship with a provider without the local Bell in the equation.
