More on this topic, from Education Superhighway.

Education Superhighway released this on Tuesday.

We are working with them a bit through the Governor’s office.  They pull their data from E-rate publicly accessible data, and we have worked to provide some corrections.   Our fiber connectivity is a little higher I believe—tech survey shows in 260’s schools with fiber.

At any rate, this was released and does a good comparison to other states:

No, not meeting it but between 50-80% of it depending on the location.

We are.  Within 5-10%

On paper we are pretty close.  700 kids and a Gig through VTel which we share with the HS and Town and 200 Meg through Comcast which is load balanced (5:1) with automatic fail over.

During the day we usually cruise at about 200 Meg bandwidth usage with spikes over 500 Meg.  We have a lot of technology and it is used.

IMHO the 1.5 mbps per student is generous but probably a good planning goal.

The big challenge is to handle the high density WiFi in the classrooms so there is no congestion and everyone can get their share of the Internet connection with no waiting.

Filtering is DNS style (Symantec Connect Safe) so no deep packet inspection.  Only one router which is the default gateway.  Gig Ethernet with 10 Gig backbone, 10 Gig to the ISP.

Is anyone even close to the 1.5 mbps per student that SETDA recommends at 2017-2018 targets?  When I do the math here we're miles away from those benchmarks.  Thanks.
