Internet access as small business network grows

by shiny_topadm . Updated 18 years, 10 months ago

We have a small (Windows clients with AIX and Windows servers) PC network that has now grown to about 25 clients. I expect some growth, but < 15 more systems in the next year. We have a single 1.5Mbps SDSL line for internet access (which used to be primarily email & ftp) and people have been compaining of "slow speed" lately. There is no problem (or complaint) accessing data or applications on our own servers. There are now more business reasons to allow certain types of streaming video files, etc. and many sites don't work correctly periodically. It seems a safe guess that more "bandwidth" to the internet is needed, and my firewall/router has 2 "WAN" connections (and we are only using 1). What's the easiest way to provide more internet speed? The simplest is certainly to order another DSL circuit, but should I consider other things? Our existing service has been very reliable. Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
