+1. That’s what I use with a Fortinet Router. I think I have less users that OP, but it’s still a good failsafe.

One other thing you might think about is looking at a cellular 3\4g option as well. We happen to have great Sprint service (The office were in used to be Sprints SF headquarters) and have a 3g\4g CradlePoint MBR1200 router With the Sprint U600 3g\4g usb modem and it works great as a backup. It’s cheap at 59.95 a month which includes 5gb of data on the 3G (.05 per mb after), and unlimited data on the 4g (Which we happen to have). I think the router was under 400.00 as well. http://www.cradlepoint.com/products/mbr1200-failsafe-gigabit-n-router-mobile-broadband# <http://www.cradlepoint.com/products/mbr1200-failsafe-gigabit-n-router-mobile-broadband> Good luck. -Greg From: Harry Singh [mailto:hbo...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2011 12:34 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Backup internet access? http://www.towerstream.com/ They have been doing wireless for quite some time in my area. I don't have first hand experience, but for a backup line it should more than suffice.

I have a remote site (6 people) that has no access to wired Internet or telephone. We are using a wireless provider for Internet and for "landline" phone. It has some latency issues and the VPN drops occasionally, but overall, it would probably be a decent backup solution for you. At my main site, the wireless provider wanted too much money for very little bandwidth, so they priced themselves out of contention. -----Original Message----- From: David Mazzaccaro [mailto:david.mazzacc...@hudsonmobility.com] Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2011 2:34 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Backup internet access? LOL I didn't even think about wireless. Thanks! I got the following pricing (monthly): Single T1 1.5M $450 2 Ts bonded 3M $830 -----Original Message----- From: Kurt Buff [mailto:kurt.b...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2011 2:19 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Backup internet access? I'd seriously consider a wireless link - and I don't mean 802.11, either.
