Internet bandwidth upgrade complete

The district's Internet bandwidth upgrade was finished late this morning and it seems to be working well. We are using both Internet connections and our total throughput is well over 100Mbps (our old limit). We have eased some of the traffic limits that were in place, but we are continuing to prioritize traffic that could cause problems. For example, Adobe updates are throttled because 2,000 computers all downloading the same update would clog the connection no matter how fast it is. We also will continue to prioritize traffic that is instructional in nature, and limit or block traffic that is not instructional.
