Uplinks (0Mb/0Mb! currently - Projected future uplink in aggregate 22Mb/16Mb)

  • Comcast Cable (Only internet, no voice or tv service)
Currently service has been ordered and will be installed on October 2nd between 9am and 11am.
$66.95 per month (After taxes COD at time of install is $169.21) - $3 modem rental per month
No contract!
Link speed is supposedly 16 Mbps bi-directionally for their "BLAST!" level of service

Hardware

matt can offer a pre-configured Soekris board for the network. He would recommend sonic.net as a DSL provider, since they're 1) a local business 2) support geeky things like IPv6 & multicast 3) we have contacts internal within their organization. It should be noted that DSLextreme would be cheaper and IP Networks much more expensive (direct fiber back to 365 Main or 200 Paul).
