T1 Pricing Without the Wait

If you want a T1 price quote for Deckers in two seconds instead of two days, you need GeoQuote. Since telecom brokers have been online they have offered a valuable service. A broker will take your information and shop for pricing with carriers he or she is intimately familiar with. The problem is not the information you get back, the problem is when you get it back. Brokers can be as fast as 24 hours or as slow as 1 week. How do you speed up the process? Get a real-time quote and save yourself the wait!

While many brokers claim to get back to you quickly and some even claim to have real time quoting we have only come across one service that truly has real-time price quoting for dedicated services. Their mantra of "1.5Mbps in 1.5 seconds" is exactly what they deliver. The speed at which they offer the information is much like going to Expedia or Travelocity. When you want information now, get it from a broker that can deliver it to you now.

Online quoting for dedicated service will likely evolve into broker services much like the travel industry or the insurance industry. The complexity of the product and the geographic sensitivity of the pricing, however, has slowed this process. The only service we've found that truly offers a real-time quote is T1Market.com. While others may soon follow with this service these guys are truly ahead of the pack.

We meet thousands of online shoppers each week and all of them tell us the same thing: shopping for an inexpensive T1 line and determining T1 availability in Deckers is never easy. You perform a search in Google and you see millions of results, all of which claim to save you money. In reality what your are seeing are sites created by internet marketing entrepreneurs who know little about dedicated service. They create simple HTML forms that capture your information, and then send it to every vendor in the universe or some in-house former used-car salesman who will sell you whatever will pay him the biggest bonus. The internet is littered with this clutter, confusing customers like you and leaving a sour taste in your mouth. What started out as a search for competitively priced dedicated services has turned into a three ring circus!

In 2002 my partner, Adam Edwards, and I decided to take the road less traveled. We realized early on that in order to create an online experience that was worthy of your time, we needed to provide information you can use - not your typical "enter your information here and we'll get back to you" elementary page. In order to do this, we invested a full year researching all of the different T1 providers in order to understand their pricing models, many of which were created decades ago. Based on information we extracted from this research, we invested heavily in complex programming that would allow us to calculate loop prices, or the cost that the local phone companies pass on to the dedicated service providers for access to their network. This cost varies by mile, by market, and by geographic region of the country. Once we rolled up our sleeves and performed extensive testing, we called our product 'GeoQuote' and released it to the public on this very web site in 2003. We are currently in the process of patenting this unique technology.

Once we began generating large amounts of volume for our suppliers, we were blessed with special rate plans and promotions that we alone could offer you, our customer. Our T1 rates are especially low in CO, particularly in Deckers!

Don't be fooled by the imitators! Since we launched our site two years ago, many have attempted to copy our concept, our business model, and even our domain name! It's amazing how in-style real-time shopping has become, especially considering that the reaction we received by our vendors when we divulged our plans to create GeoQuote. Some of the reactions we received include "that can't be done - it's never been done before" and "that is an interesting business model". Now these same vendors have become believers, and our very best partners.

To date, 617,035 unbiased real-time quotes have been created by online shoppers just like you. Instead of waiting for days to even see pricing, we give it to you in just seconds. Throw in the courtesy phone call that you will receive from one of our certified broadband consultants who can answer your questions, help you design your network, give you the strengths and weaknesses of each of our providers - and you have a winning combination.

In an industry reluctant to change, we are trailblazing ahead. Thousands of lines have been sold in the past year alone, with many more on the way. The way people shop for broadband services will never be the same.

As we go forward, our goal is to continually improve our product offerings. We now offer enterprise products typically employed by larger corporations, namely: MPLS network service, gigabit ethernet, OC3, OC12, OC48, OC192, OC256, and OC768 lines delivered over a fiber optic backbone. Many of our carriers even offer free managed Cisco routers for multi-year contracts. Mostly, our goal is to build a bond with you - our customer - that will last for years to come. Earning your trust is what we do here. Saving you money on cheap T1 services is how we keep it.
