Premium education connectivity solutions from Fast.

In consultation with Equiinet we have created a package of high speed broadband combined with an 'all-in-one' security device known as FastPilot.

This combination provides faster, more secure and cost-effective internet services than presently offered to many schools.

FastPilot’s advanced firewall comes fully pre-configured. It is reassuring to know that your school is robustly protected from any outside interference from the internet. FastPilot also contains a web ‘cache’ which stores popular pages locally enabling them to be displayed immediately - further improving internet response times and off-loading traffic from the school’s broadband connection.

Is your school in the slow lane?

Recent research conducted by BESA, shows as many as 25% of primary schools have an internet connection offering a lowly performance of 2Mbps or less. An astonishing 45% of primary schools have only 4Mbps or less. meaning most home users are better served than the average primary school, which have an average of 46 PCs all contending for the same limited bandwidth.

Better performance at a lower cost

Fast can provide all the latest broadband options. These include recently introduced high speed fibre optic based services providing speeds of up to 40Mbps*, as well as LLU options which allow Fast to provide a range of very cost-effective DSL services typically providing an impressive 18Mbps*.

Many primary schools currently have previous generation internet connectivity services, often centrally negotiated some years ago by their LA and/or RBC with a connectivity service provider. The downside to these arrangements in many cases is that primary schools are tied into long term agreements which by today's standards are expensive, for services that again by modern standards are slow.

Excellent support

Schools that have been left without LA advice and support and are not accustomed to dealing with service providers will find Fast a helpful, knowledgeable and professional company to deal with. We promise to make switching from your existing service as painless as possible and we feel that you will be extremely satisfied with the end results.

By purchasing services from Fast, schools can deal direct with their internet service provider, which immediately provides cost savings. In addition, schools can choose what type of agreement they wish to enter into with regard to contract duration. This offers great flexibility and further potential cost savings.
