Do you need fast ethernet or gigabit ethernet broadband?

If your business is located in one of the major metropolitan areas of the United States, you may want to try the new Shop For Ethernet service offered by Telarus and Cognigen.
Why is Ethernet the future?
Ethernet is a matter of plugging your network directly into a telecom provider’s network and bypassing your local phone company. Having direct access to customers allows the broadband Internet provider to control the user’s experience from end to end and reduce the cost.
These savings are passed on to you.
How does Shop For Ethernet work?
1. You enter your building address in the form at Shop For Ethernet.
2. You will see a map with your location along with markers of surrounding buildings who have been “lit” by the major telecom service providers.
3. If you would like to learn more, you can enter you contact information to receive a phone call from our staff of Ethernet service experts.
How is Shop For Ethernet valuable?
The GeoQuote Ethernet locator is valuable for people or business who are looking to:
* move into a building with existing carrier facilities.
* substantially upgrade their current broadband connections.
* 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 Shop For Ethernet 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.
Can I order Ethernet service online?
Not yet. Even if our 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.
Shop For Ethernet is not for all businesses
Shop For Ethernet is for the largest businesses that need lots of bandwidth (100 to 1000 mbps) and are located in areas with buildings that are served by fast ethernet and gigabit ethernet providers.
It is not for all businesses and certainly not for residential broadband provisioning.
Other alternatives: Business T1, DS3, and faster
If fast ethernet isn’t available in your location, or if you just don’t need that much bandwidth, you can find what is available in your area. Shop For T1 offers real-time lookup of broadband providers offering T1, DS3, and other Internet connections. Our broadband experts have helped hundreds of companies provision better service connections and most of them have saved money in the process.
Small business and residential DSL, Cable Modem, and Satellite broadband
If you are looking for affordable broadband for your small business or home use, Shop For DSL offers real-time lookup of DSL, Cable Modem, and Satellite broadband providers in your location.
We can’t find a broadband connection for everyone - I live in an area without DSL access, for instance - but the first-class providers we help you find are extending their networks every day.
Act on your dream!
