Internet Service Providers
Current Provider
Internet,_Phone,_Domains,_Server
- Above page is outdated. Current ISP is satellite https://internet.hughesnet.com/
Plans
- Residential plan 25/3Mbps with 10GB of data + 50GB 2-8am for ~$50/mo
- Throttling after data limit is reached gives 1-3Mbps. Presumably, this is for download only and upload may be less.
- Business plan 35GB ~$70/mo
- 2 year contracts required on all plans
Potential Regional Providers

- http://www.stjoewireless.com/residential-service.html
- https://internet.hughesnet.com/
- https://www.exede.com/
- This (or some other cellular to ethernet modem) and a cellular connection (Verizon Maybe)
Goals for Improving the Network
- Reach High Upload and Download Speeds
- Have as Little Latency as Possible
- Add either a higher speed cable connection, some sort of converted cellular signal, or satellite internet
- Add a local server for storage + high speed connections to the lan
- Add a render farm (not too important until video workflow and/or CAD Files etc grow a bunch, although even then a good Workstation Computer and NAS should work fine)
- Add a mesh Wifi network
- Add high speed 1 Gigabit or 10 Gigabit internet to most buildings for connection to the lan + the wan
- Add VoIP and/or Traditional 4P4C Phone to the server + network
- Add further redundancy to the system
- Give Internet + Server Access to all Site Facilities, Even those far away from the main area. This is done either by WiFi Dishes, RONJA , some sort of buried fiber/coaxial cable, or some combination of these
- Utilize the work done by the Free the Network Foundation and RONJA (and other OSHW Groups) whenever possible
- Make the network modular and future-proofed so it can grow with our needs
Controlling Data Usage
With limited data plans such as satellite with peak hour limits managing data may help reduce throttling
- Manage timing of data usage when possible with download/upload managers.
- Software Tools for Ubuntu?
- Limit quality and size of videos uploaded. Low framerates (8fps) work using vokoscreen recording and are compatible with youtube.
