About Broadband Trader

About Us

Broadband Trader exists for one reason: business connectivity is sold at negotiated prices, and most buyers never find out what theirs should have been.

Why this site exists

Circuits are negotiated, not listed

There is no shelf price for a business circuit. What a carrier charges depends on whether fiber already reaches your building, how long a term you will sign, how much of the install they are willing to absorb, and how likely they think it is that someone else is bidding. Two companies on the same floor of the same building routinely pay very different rates for the same service, and the difference is rarely about the technology.

What we do

We put your requirement out to bid

You post the requirement once. The carriers that can actually reach your address price it knowing they are in a competitive bid, which is the single biggest reason a first number comes in lower than a first number usually does. You get the offers side by side, you see the spread between them, and you counter from a position where you know what the market will bear.

How we are paid

The channel pays, you do not

Running a bid here costs you nothing. Providers and the channel pay to compete for business, which is the same reason they are willing to sharpen a number when they know the bid is contested. You sign directly with the carrier you choose, on their paper, and you are free to walk away from every offer you receive.

What we will not do

No steering

We do not rank carriers by what they pay us, and we do not pretend a provider reaches your building when it does not. A bid is only worth running if the offers in it are real, so the list you get is the list of carriers that can genuinely serve the address.
