Awesome new tool for checking if your building is lit with fiber or not
-
Ok 404 error is fixed. I am technical btw... if there is something you specifically want let me know. This site was my idea. I am in IT and telecom and always wanted a tool like this and there is really nothing forward facing just to check what carriers are available. So I built it. If that is suspicious not sure what to say.
-
@RojoLoco There is no address for the company yet.. this is a start up. Not sure I guess I can go get a P.O. box but my assumption is anyone using this isn't really going to be sending me any mail.
-
@RojoLoco WTF is a brown list?
-
Add Verizon to the list of fiber providers.
-
@marcinozga Working on it... have a meeting with some people about that this week.

The shit list. as in "do not use these vendors EVER!" How do you expect to start a business not knowing that???

Are you just looking to do US or more broad?
-
And welcome to MangoLassi, by the way.
-
I would like to do globe at some point, but at this time just focusing on the US as that is where we have the majority of our connections.

@scottalanmiller Thank you

Real professional. Hence why this all looks like an info gathering scam.

Site loads REALLY slowly here in Montenegro, but most things do, so doesn't mean much.

You should have a term for a sentence like that.
"Doesn't rate well with users who are elephants, but then nothing really does."
LOL.

@Jason Are you not seeing that the tool actually works? Not sure why you guys are being so ridiculous. There's no info to gather you can put in fake email and fake company name and get results back. I am in this field and I even have been using this even though I have access to countless tools because nothing is organizing this many locations in the US in one place.
So what the contact page went to contact.html instead of contact.php? It is built from the ground up with regular CSS HTML Javascript, PHP, XML, Jquery, etc... Not on some dumb CMS tool that we are all used to seeing on the web now. So what happened though? We forgot to change one .html to .php and you tell me this is a brown list shit list tool? Ya I am the one who is unprofessional. Go ahead and try to find this information for free somewhere else.

Hey, @jason, it's not only a vendor, it's a sales d*ck.
-
@RojoLoco Ok I give up you guys are trolls.
-
Your site fails to identify many fiber circuits in this area, most from carriers that you list. Utter failure.

Since the info isn't necessarily real, I would make the sign up process optional. Ask for it but make a "skip" button. Working in IT we get bombarded with stuff to harvest our contact info and it's a major turn off. Putting it front and centre that you are hoping to get that info is great, but giving a clear "go ahead and skip" makes it comfortable to use. Giving fake info doesn't feel okay to do for most of us, while we know that we can, we don't like to play that game.
And I think it would be better for you, too. Because it would filter most of that out so that what info you do collect is real rather than ending up with a lot of junk that isn't useful for sales, demographics or whatever.
-
That is actually a good idea. I wanted the email and name on there just so I could identify who and how the tool is being used as I rolled it out. Even if the point was to collect information though who cares it's free and tells you what is around. Obviously over time we would like to have more carriers available for all areas. As mentioned this focuses on major metropolitan areas though. You guys are focusing on the boonies. I will put those as optional as you say though Scott. To make everyone sleep a little easier.
