"GeoQuote has had a profound effect on commercial telecom. Before Telarus had the insight and
fortitude to build the industry's first real-time quoting tool, it was almost impossible for an agent
to get pricing for a client in a reasonable time frame. With the advent of GeoQuote, many thousands
of businesses have been able to find and compare the different telecommunications providers without
waiting days to do so. GeoQuote is amazing!"

After we had created and filed for a United States patent on our new real-time quoting
system in 2003, we needed to give it a name. The term "GeoQuote" just made sense,
since the price of T1 and other commercial telecom products are so sensitive to
geography. Since then GeoQuote has become a term that has gained universal
acceptance and use in the context of our real-time price engine.
All of our marketing web sites are endowed with GeoQuote so that our visitors get
instant gratification when looking for pricing and availability. (watch video)
