@RojoLoco just because it exists doesn't mean that all the carriers want to report to the public where it is and whether they can get access to it. The website appears to want to help you find what carriers in your area you could get a quote from. If I were in the market I would be looking up and down my street, not just in my building.

@scottalanmiller said in Awesome new tool for checking if your building is lit with fiber or not:

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.

@Buildinglit yeah it doesn't make sense to require the Company name and Email. If someone sees an enticing carrier near them they would reasonably give you their name and email in the Quote Management page. That would also mean all the contact info you get is actionable because it means someone saw something and is really interested.
