I don't see this at all - do you have a direct URL?

After plugging in my address, I get to this page:
https://www.metrofi.com/cms/availability_free.htm

where it says I'm 313 feet away but says nothing about free hardware,
no matter where I drill down from there (all I get are FAQ links).  Is
your address in Sunnyvale or one of the other cities?

I can't access that page at all - is the URL correct?
