Network & Computer Techs help please! - Page 3

I need help with stats that will help me justify from switching a 1.5 up and 1.5 down wireless broadband connection to a T1 connection. All they heads above me can see is a increase in $400 a month. I'm a Network Admin for a NPO (Non-Profit) company so our funds are limited. I know that putting us on a T1 means the network will then be on a backbone, and much faster at connecting and transmitting speeds.. I have 19 VPN locations that are not up to par under the current situation . Do you guys have some ideas (REAL IDEAS) that will help me plead my case? Thanks

That sounds expensive to me. I've got an offer on the table from Network Telephone (aka Talk America) for a full T1 provisioned for 4 telephone lines and 1000 minutes of outgoing LD for $261/month. Basically anytime a phone line is in use you lose 64k of bankwidth. There is also some housekeeping overhead, but you still end up with about 1.2mbps thruput most of the time. Solid SLA too.

Well go to a provider that might let you get a upgrade free and they would write it off as a tax write off.
