We ran into these issues last year with a number of providers, when trying to run cable/dsl to our remote locations to offload Internet traffic.
It all depends on if the provider already provides access to the area, and if not, then they have to run the line. Depending on the area, they might have to pay a developer for access to the property & running the line, construction costs, permits, new equipment, etc... Usually the first company in an area/business park has to pay the large fee for new construction, then other businesses will get the benefit. Sometimes the providers will bury the construction costs into the MRC, if you can sign for a 3-5 year service engagement.

Yikes.

Check the Service Level Agreements of any DSL you'd be considering, as far as guaranteed bandwidth, and response time to trouble tickets Erik Goldoff IT Consultant Systems, Networks, & Security -----Original Message----- From: Holstrom, Don [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, March 10, 2009 10:02 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Internet connectivity My museum is disconnected from any other blocks by cable TV, so I cannot hook up to that without a $15,000 fee. I have FIOS at home and am loving it, even though they lied to me about connectivity and I cannot run test web sites from home and I send them way too much dough every month... Would a T-1 be a better connection than a 768 up by 5 or 6 MB download or some other such DSL? I remember using a T-1 much earlier in my career and it was pretty good, but of course we didn't have the constant use the web gets by the youngsters now. I have about 60 serious web users and also run Exchange 2003. I don't need to host any websites but I do have a couple of dozen remote access users... ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
