Who We Are
BestOC3rate is the result of the cumulative efforts of independent OC3 agents and customers from all over the world, the realized dream of thousands seeking real-time T1, DS3 and OC3 price quoting. It took a team of expert programmers months of research, experimentation, and over $1M in funding to create GeoQuote. That investment is now paying huge dividends; the days of having to contact a myriad of companies and then wait days or even weeks for them to send you back a price quote are now a thing of the past.

What We Do
Although GeoQuote is used primarily as a good faith price estimate tool, behind it is a team of OC3 service experts that are ready to help. Just minutes after you submit your information to obtain a price quote, one of our trained and experienced OC3 consultants will contact you to discuss your situation, analyze your needs, and give you the unbiased research that you deserve. Making an informed decision will be easy and quick with our revolutionary new OC3 shopping system.

Where We're Going
Our OC3 experts continue in their commitment to bring to the best OC3 pricing tools available. A team of programmers remains in constant contact with our OC3 providers to update rates, coverage area, and specials/promotions.

Red Bullet Finding the Right T1 Provider

Written by: Patrick Oborn - Mar 19, 2010

Telecommunications contracts can be much like a marriage and as we all know there are good and bad marriages. The fact is, when you enter into a telecommunications contract with a T1 carrier for a reasonable amount of bandwidth or voice service you will have to enter into a long term contract. Telecommunications contracts for T1's and T3's typically range from 1 years to 3 years. Anything longer than a 3 year contract is usually only seen in very large applications like OC3 and OC12 or complex frame relay connections with many nodes. While the term of the contract will not be a problem if you have the right provider, the contract could prove extremely burdensome with the wrong provider.

We suggest using a broker to walk you through your options and show you the providers and services available. A broker or independent agent can help reduce the time it takes you to shop around for a T1 provider by asking you the questions once and searching through multiple providers to get the service that is right for you. The agent helps steer clear of the bias you will receive when speaking with one vendor as the agent will be paid no matter which service you choose. As the agent doesn't work with a specific provider like AT&T or Sprint, he or she will not push you in that direction if they are not right for you.

Remember that the T1 provider you select will be your partner for quite some time so take caution in your decision. The worst part of being with a bad provider is the fact that it will affect your business. Dropped calls or an internet connection that goes down can be disastrous to a business. We found that the larger companies like AT&T and Sprint will release companies from long term contracts if it is shown that the voice or data T1 service was faulty on a regular basis, however the release from such a contract will not help recoup the damages of the lost calls and e-mails from the poor service. When shopping for a T1 provider we suggest using a broker and asking for referrals from current customers to give you an indication of what you can expect.
