Compare business fiber quotes at every location.
One quote is not a market test. The same gigabit at one building prices differently depending on who has fiber lit and who has to dig.
Rings Jonathan and the team 24x7.
400+ carriers and platforms, compared.
Wide price spread at one address. The same 1 Gbps DIA on the same term can come back at very different monthly prices from carriers serving one building. You see the real numbers. What moves the number: what drives the price.
Buckeye Telecom (the advisor, not Buckeye Broadband) compares carriers address by address, normalizes the quotes into one view, and puts every contract in your name. There is no advisory fee. Your price matches going direct.
Talk. Compete. Stay.
Same three beats as the rest of the site, applied to fiber at every address.
Talk
Site list, uptime target, primary vs backup.
Compete
The carriers that can serve that building; one normalized shortlist.
Stay
First invoices checked; renewals on a calendar before the notice window.
Details: The process.
Why ZIP-code pricing lies
| What looks like a quote | What actually decides the number |
|---|---|
| “Fiber available in your area” | Lit in this building vs construction |
| One speed, one monthly price | Term, install, SLA credits, oversubscription |
| Same Mbps everywhere | Different last-mile product at each site |
| National rate card | Floor pricing after a real compete |
That spread is why a single ZIP-code “starting at” number is marketing, not a market test. Compare against current quotes for the same address. When we quote your addresses, you get named carriers and current numbers.
The compare method that survives finance review
List every address
Not “our Ohio sites,” the street addresses.
Define the standard
Primary DIA vs cable vs wireless backup; uptime target; static IPs if needed.
Ask who can serve the building
National, regional, fixed wireless where it fits.
Normalize the paper
MRC, install, term, notice/auto-renew, SLA credit schedule, shared vs dedicated.
Pick with a recommendation
We tell you what we would buy and why; you sign with the provider.
Stay
First invoices checked; renewal dates on a calendar, not in someone’s head.
Across many sites: Multi-site telecom management.
What to put in the comparison table
Every row should answer the same columns or it is not apples-to-apples.
Carrier & access type
Dedicated fiber / shared fiber / cable / fixed wireless / 5G.
Speed & dedication
Whether the Mbps is dedicated or shared.
MRC & term
Monthly recurring and term options.
Install / construction
Risk and who pays.
SLA credits
How credits actually work.
Notice & auto-renew
Window language that decides the next term.
Carriers design quotes to look different on purpose. A broker or advisor who only forwards PDFs has not done the job.
Single site vs every location
One site: You can call two or three carriers yourself. Still normalize term and install. Advisor vs going direct.
Every location: DIY breaks around three to five sites, different on-net maps, staggered renewals, and nobody owns the compete pack. We hold one register, price each address against who serves that building, and keep one escalation path after cutover. Largest estate: 100+ locations. 500+ customers since 2003.
Ohio and beyond
DIA, cable, fixed wireless, and failover tradeoffs: business internet. We work with businesses across the US, and Columbus and the rest of Ohio are our sweet spot.
Life-safety is not internet. A new DIA does not replace a fire panel, elevator phone, or analog alarm line. Those need a separate inventory and code-aware path: POTS and copper replacement.
How we get paid
No advisory fee. Providers pay a residual when you place through us. We do not add margin on your carrier price. How we get paid.
