Re: MPLS Network for Multi Office
We actually just got a quote from Time Warner Communications. They quoted out fiber in New Philadelphia and Dublin with Advantage pack coax at the other sites (8mb/1.5mb). We are a bit leary about the business class coax though since it is a shared node. But I'm pumped about the fiber. I like that quote much better than the xo quote. |

Honestly on the coax you will most likely get your speed 95% of the time. We have coax at tons of site and for what it is, it is pretty good.
If you are that worried about the coax, is the fiber out of your price range for all of your sites? Ive gotten 5mb/5mb fiber for less than $~700 and ability to get 10mb for less than $~900. You should be able to get the same or better than that with as many sites as you have. |

be careful ... you're being tempted by the siren song of price. woooooo~~~ low price woooooo~~~ higher speed woooooo~~~ long term contract wooooo~~~ bad service, support, maintenance and billing! woooooo~~~ time to update your resumé.... |

| I'm definitely not one to buy the snake oil. We can't get fiber at all of the locations. Most of them are to rural. I'm not the one that will make the final decision. I have some influence but not much. the contract is going to be 36 months. same as the contract for mpls quotes. |

Time Warner communications is NOT Time Warner cable. They only share TW as the name.\
TWC does business to business using Business Class as the name after TWC. |
