Floyd, we use 4xT1 for all of our access, including Exchange and staff use. It sounds like you are about our size and this is sufficient for our needs.
Peter Guss Director of Information Technology Whitney Museum of American Art Peter_guss at whitney.org -----Original Message----- From: mcn-l-bounces at mcn.edu [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sweeting III, Floyd Sent: Tuesday, July 21, 2009 11:12 AM To: Museum Computer Network Listserv Subject: [MCN-L] Internet access for a mid-size institution We are a mid-size museum (NYC) and we have a T-1 (1.5 Mbps) for our exchange server and to serve our collections database over the web and we use a Time Warner cable to allow about 250 employees to access the net which gives us (10 Mbps down and 1.5 up) for a low price. This has worked fine for a year but TW is not really a business class solution and recently we have had some problems with them - enough to affect our business day and make us reconsider. My question is what solutions are other mid-size museums using that give enough bandwidth for all of your business activities and at what kind of price?
