<title>Setting up network with two ISP&#x27;s</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23177069</link>
<description><![CDATA[We have an existing T-1 line at our main location and use it for internet access, email and web hosting, and VPN access. We have a building across the street which has three PC's.  These PC's are connected to our main store network via a wireless bridge, so they access the internet via the same T-1 as our main location.

We just switched our phone service to Optimum's business package at our remote location, and since internet service is bundled as part of the phone service I wanted to set up the PC's at that location to access the internet via Optimum Online.  This would give them faster internet access compared to using the wireless bridge, and reduce the bandwidth on our T-1 line at the main store. The Optimum service is terminated with a modem, and I have a spare router that I can use at our remote store.  We already have a DHCP server on our network, and most of our PC's use static IP address (internal IP's using 192.168.1.* range). 

Is it possible for me to have the PC's in the remote location use the Optimum connection for internet access?  I assume I'd just change the gateway setting on those PC's to point to the router attached to the Optimum modem. I'd tried a few different setups but can't get it to work. The router I'm using is a low end unit (Trendnet TW100) so maybe it doesn't have all the settings and features I'd need?  Anyone else have a similar setup?

Thanks!

<title>Bandwidth Pricing Trends</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23364829</link>
<description><![CDATA[Can anyone direct me to where I could find some information about the pricing trends for high capacity bandwidth between 2005 and today?  

I'm particularly looking for what has occurred in the pricing of OC12 and OC48 circuits.  I assume the costs have declined over the years.  If I had a circuit installed in 2005 on a 3 year contract that was renewed in 2008, I would expect to see my MRC drop  by about x%.  (assumes no changes to the already installed service.)

Any ideas?

Thanks!!]]></description>

<title>Outdoor ethernet link 2000 feet - solutions?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23315792</link>
<description><![CDATA[I want to set up an ethernet link for an outdoor event. We want internet connectivity and there is an access port some 2000 feet away. 

What is the best way to achieve a wired connection that is:
 inexpensive (max $1000) and capable of at least 10 Mbps duplex?
It is ok if it requires attendance and some techie tinkering to set up.]]></description>
