Local T-1 line charges are the responsibility of each district and are not included unless the district is connected to the EDLINK12 Core in Waco.

Adding a second T-1 line and purchasing additional hardware (I.e. router & cache engine) may be required to insure proper performance of new services. An EDLINK 12 technician can advise your district about current T-1 utilization.
