Telewest Offers Schools Broadband
Posted: 13th May, 2003 By: MarkJ
The Education Bradford authority has signed a £2.5m five year deal with Telewest, which will allow the cable operator to supply 203 schools in the region with broadband Internet access:
The education authority has opted out of the government's broadband consortium, believing that it can get better value for money and a faster connection through extending its current deal with Telewest.
The telco is providing a 10Mbps fibre connection to the schools, replacing its own Frame Relay circuits which ran at 64Kbps, 128Kbps and 2Mbps.
The deal gives schools in the region more bandwidth than suggested by government guidelines on bandwidth in schools, which Education Bradford believes are inadequate.
