Free Internet Bandwidth For
Education Networks
Philanthropy is alive and well
today! Educational
networks that need additional
Internet bandwidth can apply
for a grant to get any amount
of Internet bandwidth ranging
from 45Mbps up to 10,000Mbps
of free Internet bandwidth.
Applications are determined on
a case by case basis, but most
qualify with the below
requirements and are therefore
automatically
approved. The special
educational program is
generously offered by Tier 1
provider,
Hurricane Electric,
and it is at their discretion to
approve the application.
This
special plan is for networks
used for educational
institutions such as
universities,
colleges, county school
districts, and other school
networks. Since
education networks often also
connect to other government
institutions, a network may also
connect to a few other
organizations without being
disqualified.
Network must run BGP with this
additional link.
Network must have their own ip
address space from ARIN.
Networks announcing 50 ip
prefixes via BGP or more can
apply for up to 1,000Mbps of
Internet Access per location
for the service free.
(saving $18,000/month off the
regular wholesale rate of this
service).
Networks announcing 50 ip
prefixes or less via BGP can
apply for up to 1,000Mbps of
Internet Access per location
for the service at only
$1,000/month
(saving $17,000/month off the
regular wholesale rate of this
service).
Internet access is available
at specific NAP locations. The
Internet bandwidth can be
delivered to other locations
via a local loop to the
educational institution's
network by arranging
with any fiber company or
Telco and at their own
expense. Additional requirements may
apply. Below is a list
of NAP locations that this
program may be available.
