How do I compare the cost and value for money of each data line?
As you can see in the above description of the different types of data services it is not easy to compare the cost of data lines. Do not forget to factor in the benefits of DSL (ADSL or SHDSL) services with lower contention ratios. As a guide for a school that is small, a slow or late adopter or uses non critical applications a DSL service is likely to be a good starting point. It is recommended that you select a service with the lowest contention ratio you can afford, but which allows you to easily expand the capacity by increasing the bandwidth or reducing the contention ratio. For large schools or heavy users of technology for email communication within the community and for after school remote access by staff and students, the more reliable dedicated Ethernet service is recommended. Similarly, it is recommended that you select a carrier that provides a clear upgrade path to increased bandwidth. We have selected a small range of routers to support all the data line types and bandwid
