Bandwidth increases announcement.
*********************************************
We are working with 702 Communications and the other Telco's in the NWMSA, LLC for bandwidth increases for the upcoming school year - FY16-17. The results have been very positive.
Many of the Telco's have generously offered to double and triple the current amount of available bandwidth during the school day, at no additional cost for many of the NW Links member sites. In some instances,, they have bumped the bandwidth up to a 1 gig level.
As we finalize all of the site information, we will be disseminate the new bandwidth levels to all of the NW Links members. I envision this process will be completed by the end of the first week of May.
Thank you!
