wells as you can see below i have posted the question and the answer but i do not know if the answer is sufficient enough and when you read "they" it is merely indicating the company


They have been using a dial-up BRI ISDN connection. They want to spend no more than $200 per month on an Internet connection (not including installation fees). They also need a transmission method with fairly good security and a guarantee of adequate throughput during the daytime hours. What solution can you recommend that will offer them the most throughput at this cost?
Wells you see in this type of situation they are dealing with a LAN a local area network and of course they do not need anything that is incredibly expensive. The first thing that they want to do is simply get a Router from a telephone company and of course a switch that has about 4-5 ports in this case would be great. After this they will be easily on the internet running at great speeds (do not forget upgrade your driver cards)

 
Solution
This is kind of an impossible question to answer, its asking you to price out an internet plan they have no control over and suggest a transmission medium that again they have no control over and have been in the ground for years.

Transmission method I think is better interpreted as Transmission Medium, so its asking more for stuff like cabling or wireless solutions rather than networking equipment. Depending on the scale of the company the best answer would be Twisted Pair (CAT) or Fiber Optic cabling. Security is pretty much assured because to get into that any intruder would have to splice the cables themselves and in terms of bandwidth is far better than a wireless option.

Though of course, the transmission medium they use for...

Though of course, the transmission medium they use for their own network will have no impact on internet speeds, that will be dictated by the ISP and whatever cable they have laying in the ground (probably just copper they use for phone lines in all likelihood). The only upgrade from Dial-Up would be ADSL2+ unless they get their own Fiber network, which is very unlikely if the company is still on Dial-Up.
