Living in a rural area is always a challenge when seeking bandwidth, fast pings, minimal packet loss. The return on investment is my happiness guess. Yes i agree, but its not really reading that way, could you tell me what to ask them regarding this matter. Is it simply " hey, is this going to be a single connection" Do you mean between BULLCS and WEBUCS , yes i think so. To my knowledge the distance between the 2 points is no more than 20meters I gave the quote to Bard(google AI) and asked to explain in detail each listed item The first step is to upgrade the radio hardware at Promiseland (PROMCS) and Bullyard SS (BULLCS). This will involve replacing the existing radio equipment with newer, more powerful models. Next, a new aggregation switch will be installed at BULLCS. This switch will help to distribute the increased bandwidth from the upgraded radio equipment to the rest of your network. Finally, a single-fiber cable will be installed between BULLCS and WEBUCS. This cable will provide the physical connection for the increased bandwidth from the upgraded radio equipment. In addition to the hardware upgrades, there will also be some additional costs associated with the upgrade. These costs include: Backhaul charges: These charges cover the cost of transporting the increased bandwidth from your location to the internet. Internet charges: These charges cover the cost of your internet service. Design and PM: These charges cover the cost of designing and planning the upgrade, as well as providing ongoing maintenance and support. Utilise QCN network to NEXTDC: This charge covers the cost of using the QCN network to connect your internet service to NEXTDC. Migrate the customer internet service from CITEC to NEXTDC: This charge covers the cost of migrating your internet service from CITEC to NEXTDC. additional details about the specific items listed in the quote: Radio Hardware upgrade: This includes replacing the existing radio equipment at PROMCS and BULLCS with newer, more powerful models. The new radio equipment will be able to support the increased bandwidth of a 2Gbps connection. New Agg switch should be installed ad BULLCS (YT separation): This refers to the installation of a new aggregation switch at BULLCS. The new switch will help to distribute the increased bandwidth from the upgraded radio equipment to the rest of your network. Allocate 1 x single fibre cable between BULLCS and WEBUCS: This refers to the installation of a single-fiber cable between BULLCS and WEBUCS. The cable will provide the physical connection for the increased bandwidth from the upgraded radio equipment. Backhaul Component: This refers to the cost of transporting the increased bandwidth from your location to the internet. Internet charges: These charges cover the cost of your internet service. Design and PM: These charges cover the cost of designing and planning the upgrade, as well as providing ongoing maintenance and support. Utilise QCN network to NEXTDC: This charge covers the cost of using the QCN network to connect your internet service to NEXTDC. Migrate the customer internet service from CITEC to NEXTDC: This charge covers the cost of migrating your internet service from CITEC to NEXTDC. FYI from Bard also.... Utilize QCN network to NEXTDC: The QCN network is a high-speed fiber optic network that connects various data centers and other telecommunications facilities in Australia. NEXTDC is a data center company that operates a number of data centers across Australia. When you upgrade your internet service to 2Gbps, you will need to connect your internet service to a data center that can support that level of bandwidth. The QCN network is a good option for this because it is a high-speed network that can support large amounts of bandwidth. The cost of using the QCN network to connect your internet service to NEXTDC will vary depending on the specific location of your internet service and the data center that you choose. Migrate the customer internet service from CITEC to NEXTDC: When you upgrade your internet service to 2Gbps, you will need to migrate your internet service from CITEC to NEXTDC. CITEC is a telecommunications company that provides internet service to businesses and consumers in Australia. NEXTDC is a data center company that operates a number of data centers across Australia. The cost of migrating your internet service from CITEC to NEXTDC will vary depending on the specific services that you are using and the data center that you choose. Here are some of the benefits of migrating your internet service from CITEC to NEXTDC: Increased bandwidth: NEXTDC offers a wider range of bandwidth options than CITEC. This means that you can choose a bandwidth option that meets your specific needs. Better performance: NEXTDC's data centers are located in more strategic locations than CITEC's data centers. This means that you will likely experience better performance when using your internet service. More reliable service: NEXTDC has a better track record of reliability than CITEC. This means that you are less likely to experience outages or disruptions when using your internet service. I searched 2Gb microware services and I couldn't find a ISP offering 2Gb. The max speed on offer was 1Gb @ $2000 a month. (I'm charged $2275 ) so I'm thinking ok, $4500 a month for 2GB is reasonable, but they want to charge me $8357 per month. If i subtract $4500 from $8357 it leaves $3857 x 36 months(contract) is $153,643. Is there $153,643 worth of upgrades in this quote, that is my issue, and is it a single connection. I hope this makes more sense. I appreciate your time responding.
