Hey All-

I work in a small office, we have 18 workstations in our office building. Currently, we have it setup that we have 2 x 8mbps plans and the internet load gets shared between these two modems.

But, the ISP now offers a 50mbps plan for basically the same price as what we are currently paying, so my question is would there be any noticeable drawbacks of switching to 1 modem that has a 50mbps vs 2 modems that run 8mbps?

Thanks

No drawbacks whatsoever. I'm assuming you're using a switch for the PC's? The 100mb port on your switch is the bottleneck in this equation.. which is still plenty :) .

Just for a little insight - I work in IT at a local college, we usually have 1 modem per building ( ~300ish PC's per building)
