(Terrence believes that if we buy more 50 =eg or more we will have ability to negotiate above =igures)
30,000 annual cost will provide 25 Meg =f internet for STC and LSJE. We would have to decide on how much =o provide
each property with.
Our current bandwidth and costs =re as follows:
LSJE via Choice 15 Meg @ 2,625 =er month = 31,500 annual cost (175 cost per meg per =onth) STC via TM Telecom 4.5
Meg @ 2,139.60 per month ==25,648.56 annual cost (475 cost per meg per =onth)
Total annual cost 57,148.56 vs 30,000 =s ISP = 27,148.56 annual =avings

Maintenance contract not signed up =t time of contract = 1,500 per contract x 2 x 12 months = =6,000 per annum
Maintenance contract at time of contract = =,200 per contract x 2 x 12 months = 28,800 per =nnum I was able to
negotiate his maintenance contract to =50 per contract x 2 x 12 months = 20,400 per =nnum
Timing - 9 weeks start to =inish for ISP and WIFI / 3 weeks for equipment lead time = 12 weeks ==May 26th
