Bandwith

Bandwidth will be assigned as follows in accordance with the number of computers linked to the school's LAN:

Maximum bandwith
It is not possible for us to guarantee maximum bandwidth, as availability depends, for example, on the distance of the telephone connection to the telephone exchange. Particularly in rural areas, these distances are often great. The vicinity of overhead power lines usually leads to a reduction in the available bandwidth.
