T1 News Written by - Patrick Oborn, CTO - ShopforT1 Shopping for an inexpensive T1 line and determining T1 availability is never easy. After you perform a search in your favorite search engine, you see millions of pages, all of which claim to save you money. In reality what your are seeing is web sites programmed by internet marketing entrepreneurs who know little about dedicated service at all - all they want is to be paid for your 'lead'. They create simple HTML forms that look like they have been programmed by a seventh grade student which captures your information, and either sends 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 refuse, confusing customers and leaving a sour taste in their collective mouth. What started out as a search for competitively priced dedicated services has turned into a 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 Salt Lake City T1 lines as well as Salt Lake City T1 price providers in order to understand their pricing models, many of which were created long before we were born. 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 Utah T1 service rates are especially low in Salt Lake City! In this year alone, 307,809 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. Since we launched our site two years ago, many have attempted to copy our concept, our business model, and even our domain name GeoQuote.com! It's amazing how in-style real-time Salt Lake City T1 rates and Salt Lake City T1 rate quote 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. Change has been embraced. Thousands of T1 lines have been sold across the USA in just the past few months. The way people shop for broadband services will never be the same. As we go forward, our goal is to continually improve our product, our site, our knowledge of the industry and products, and most of all, 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 Salt Lake City T1 service is how we keep it. Thank you for your visit, your time, and for helping to make us the most successful broadband consulting agency on the internet. Our indepenent agents work overtime to make sure that our clients receive the most independent and unbiased advice possible. If only making all other purchasing decisions were this easy!
