  12. Broadband Update Where we are now: • All Secondary and Middle Schools on 2Mb Broadband (via MetroVPN)(some are shared with primary schools) • 40 Primary schools on 2Mb Broadband (via LearningStream to MetroVPN Hubsite) • 4 Primary Schools on 2Mb ADSL Broadband (+ 25 on order) • 3 Primary Schools via ad-hoc connections

  15. Broadband Update Need a solution with much lower revenue costs. • Lower cost for ‘the last kilometre’ • Lower cost for the ‘backhaul’ to SWGfL by sharing fewer, larger links • A price level that schools can afford
