How does Ethernet compare to
T1?
Why is Ethernet the
future?
"Regular" connections includeT1,DSL,Bonded DS1,T3,OCX,
and Frame Relay.These services require a path through both the local
phone company and your ISP to connect you to the Internet. That adds
extra expense to the equation and increases the possiblity of
multiple points of failure, as illustrated below:
By using Ethernet technology, your business is able to "plug"
directly in to its Internet service provider. This reduces costs and
increases the amount of speed the ISP can provide. The connection
will look like this:
When you bypass the local phone company you cut out an expensive
transport step. These savings are passed on to you. Our consultants
can show you the best options available for your business
location.

How does this tool
work?
- You enter your building address in the form
above.
- You will see a map with your location along with
markers of surrounding buildings that have been
"lit" by the major telecom service providers.
- If you would like to learn more, you'll be able
to enter your contact information to receive a
phone call from our staff of Ethernet service
experts.
How is this tool
valuable?
Our metro fiber locator
mapping tool is beneficial for small to large businesses
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.
Are these fiber maps
free?
Yes. We do not require that you pay a fee to access our
fiber map database - 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 fiber building lookup tool shows
you are in an On-Net or Near-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.
