Most of our buildings have 1 or more 1G uplinks to a 10GE core network, and some larger ones have their own 10G uplink. There's a few outlier buildings that have a dozen or so people that still have 100M uplinks. > I can tell you that no one I know in K-12 or Higher Education has the > capacity for 1GE per 1000 students. Same goes for the WAN connection. We're working on deploying 1G to the desktop. Some buildings are going faster than others - the ones we wired first are now the hardest, because there's a lot of Cat-3 in them. The later ones that already have Cat-6 will be easier. With something like 120 buildings to do, it's going to take a while.
