kennysarmy Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 Secondary School's - how much do you pay for your Broadband per year? Just that really.
PlantHead Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 Primary and secondary (redundant) fibre 300mb burstable to 500mb up/down £11892 pa
CHiLL Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 We have 200Mb/200Mb on a 1Gb line and paying around £6000pa, though we had to provide and manage our own firewall.
localzuk Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 1Gbit leased line £14935pa (covers 6 schools though). Firewall/filtering/PTP lines to the other schools separate.
sonofsanta Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 200MBps on a 1Gbps bearer, £8400pa, two years into a three year contract (i.e. this wouldn't necessarily be a good price now, though it was okay at the time)
ordeology Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 £18500 2x 500/500Mbps on 1Gbps bearers supplies four schools, 2 more years to go on the 5 year contract then I can look at a better deal. PTP, filtering and firewalling separate costs.
36Degrees Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 100Mbps on a 1Gbps bearer - £4.5k pa. Line only so no firewall or filtering.
ITGURU Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) 1 school £0 - LEA funded for 100mb on 100mb circuit on emPSN 1 school currently £9,200 for 200mb on 1gb circuit, however moving them back to emPSN which will then be £1351.03 per annum This is line only costs, school pay for filtering which is about £4k per year for own chosen solution. Edited June 6, 2019 by ITGURU
Cache Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 100/100 connection - roughly £7k We are quite rural so it took a carrier wanting to work more in the area to get that price - most others were still quoting £10k+
SchoolsBroadband Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 Hi @kennysarmy Prices are very varied on what speeds you want and where you geographically are. Some prices also include firewall and filtering whereas others dont. If youd like a competitive quote with award winning filtering and security do let me know. Prices for the connectivity element are constantly coming down and will continue to do so for the next 18 months or so on average for anything on a 1gbit bearer. I also see 10gbit beaters being available nationwide and affordable prices soon too. Dave
mrbios Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 300/300 £6800pa Was quoted a fraction over £10k for 1gb/1gb
AliG Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 Large secondary 200/200 over 1gb £5125 with just a few months into a 3 year contract. This doesn’t include the cost of the filtering.
PotNoodleTech Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 Interesting the wide variation on pricing. Going 200MB on a 1GB bearer doesnt seem to save you *that* much money which is interesting.
localzuk Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 Going 200MB on a 1GB bearer doesnt seem to save you *that* much money which is interesting. We looked at 500MB on 1GB here originally, and the difference in price was very minimal to just going the full 1GB. I mean a few hundred quid a year difference.
Sephiroth Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 1Gb on a 1Gb bearer for ~£6k. Contract started at the beginning of this financial year. It is cheaper for us than our previous 500Mb connection.
localzuk Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 One thing everyone should take into account is that pricing is very much dependent on location. We are in the most expensive zone AFAIK vs, I suspect, @Sephiroth is likely in the cheapest zone.
Sephiroth Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 I'm not sure what the zone breakdowns are, but that would make sense. we're in mid-Suffolk.
nathan Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 If you are near a CityFibre location you are onto a winner!
synaesthesia Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 If you are near a CityFibre location you are onto a winner! Just to clarify, if you are IN one you are onto a winner. Near doesn't cut it - we are literally a couple of hundred yards from where CityFibre terminates here. No go for us
nathan Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 Just to clarify, if you are IN one you are onto a winner. Near doesn't cut it - we are literally a couple of hundred yards from where CityFibre terminates here. No go for us Very true, we have one school that has a backbone running along the bottom of their field. But there isn't a node anywhere near sky cant access it. For a 500/1000 you are looking at £3k pa, maybe cheaper now as that was a year ago.
SchoolsBroadband Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 Just to clarify, if you are IN one you are onto a winner. Near doesn't cut it - we are literally a couple of hundred yards from where CityFibre terminates here. No go for us We're now starting to see similar or even lower wholesale costs from other carriers to city fibre. Also BT is really starting to motor on its fttp roll out. Expect a lot more schools to have this over the next couple of years. Dave
