Who is your internet provider?

[Zammo]

Hello there,

 

I have been asked to very tentaively collect some quotes for moving our internet service (and therefore filtering) away from our current service, farmed out by the LEA to a 3rd party.

 

I was wondering which companies other people are using? I would like the option of content filtering included, but also the option to handle our own if needs be.

 

Other than that I am open to suggestions!

 

Thanks for your time.

We've recently moved to Schools Broadband who will offer you a quote with lightspeed filtering and fortinet firewall included. When we compared them to other providers we approached, they seemed to offer the most complete package at a reasonable cost.

 

We're a reasonably large secondary school using one of their 100mbit fibre lines. Three weeks after install, we're very happy at the moment.

Nope just us

 

Thanks @IrritableTech . It's always great to get good feedback on our service particularly when you were such a hard chap to convince

We're on a leased fibre line (including Fortigate firewall) with Vaioni, have been for nearly three years, with filtering done in house with a Smoothwall. Still delighted with the combination.

They also do or could do hosted filtering if required.

We have started using The Network People, They use FortiGate for filtering. They are absolutely superb. Support is instant. Everyone you speak to is an engineer. Not a single issue, not a single (noticeable) second of downtime.
