I work for a major school board here in Alberta, and I cannot fully explain how huge of a difference the SuperNet has made to our schools. Before it existed, our schools were either on 128k ISDN or 512k DSL lines, and it was a gong show. Forget internet traffic, just logging onto the domain and accessing email was a challenge. We now have a 20mb connection to smaller schools, and a 50mb connection to high schools. Things like voip, video conferencing, and a whole host of new applications are now happening thanks entirely to the SuperNet.

Our internet usage is now just over 200GB in an 8 hour day, with the bottle neck being our web filtering appliance. The word "astounding" barely does this project justice, IMO.
