The school has completed its three year agreement for internet service and will be entering a new three year contract beginning next fall. The good news is that the cost will go down 31% and we will be getting 100 mgs of bandwidth instead of the 40 mg we currently receive.
Why will the cost go down and the bandwidth up? The last contract involved Great Plains connecting with Qwest, so we had to pay both carriers. Since the last contract was entered into, Great Plains applied for and received a grant to improve their infrastructure so that they can connect us directly to Omaha (no need for using Qwest, now CenturyLink).
How neat is that?
